My current hardware MFA key is no longer receiving security patches, so I'm in the market for a new one.

    Great question! "Need" probably isn't the right word. "Strongly desire" or "greatly prefer" would more accurate.

    The reason is that I have lots of different devices with different port types. Some of my newer devices only have USB-C ports, while my older devices only have USB-A ports, and I'd really like to have just "one key to rule them all," so to speak.

    I know that I could buy a little USB-A/C adapter dongle and keep that on the same keychain with the MFA key, but that introduces a degree of fragility that I'd prefer to avoid if possible.

    That being said, if I found a hardware MFA key with all of the features I listed except for USB-C, then I'd happily accept the dongle compromise, because most of my devices (even the old ones) support Bluetooth, so I'd still have that as a backup option in case the dongle fails.

    My current hardware MFA key is no longer receiving security patches, so I'm in the market for a new one. Here's a list of features I'd like my new hardware MFA key to have, in order of priority: 1. USB-A 2. NFC 3. USB-C 4. Biometric 5. Bluetooth My current MFA key has features 1-3 and 5. Is there a Holy Grail MFA key somewhere out there with all 5 features? I'm already pretty familiar with YubiCo's product lineup, and while I love their security rating and build quality, none of them have more than 2 of the features listed above, so that kinda bums me out. Anyway, let's hear your hardware MFA key recommendations! #MFA #2FA #fido #fido2 #fido3 #NFC #USB #USBc #USBa #Biometric #Fingerprint #YubiCo #YubiKey #Bluetooth #CyberSecurity #InfoSec
