did everyone buy a yubikey before realising it's an open standard and you can just get them from google and other manufacturers

@autumn at a glance it's really hard to find alternatives. how'd you come across these?

@ari actually my friend saw my yubikey on my keychain and showed me his, he has 2 from google that were £30 each (which is kinda good considering that my yubikey was £50)

@ari if i go on amazon i can find a few but from brands i really don't recognise... i guess not many tech corps are in the business of making hardware security keys which is weird imo. feels like a product that every big company should have, at least in an enterprise setting.

@autumn which is bizarre!! i feel like we should at least have some open-source hobbyists out there with a 3d-printed model using parts off alibaba or something

@ari or there should be some off-the-shelf component that does this that you can adapt for this. i know that the Google ones just use the Titan security chips that they use in Pixel phones, and i don't know if yubico are making their own silicon but it's entirely possible if they're charging 50 quid for it

@autumn FPGA-based security key (it can run a web server if you poke at it, and it costs $200)
