Ahh bro I’m always running or something when listening to you and forget to comment 🤷🏼‍♂️ great show as always, to bad I missed the sponge bob hype🤙🏻.

Great video 👍 I have a question about the secret code, is it the key backup or is it just a backup for the Amazon OTP in this exemple ?

Edit: my bad your are explaining it at the end 😅
So I would have to save every OTP code, there is no way to have a secret phrase for the whole key ?

[johncoluccio]

Hi, Thanks for your video. Just got an NFC 5 key and loving it. Can you tell me if anyone has mentioned that the Amazon Australia pc version only has the 2SV option. There is no option to set up a security key. Thanks again for your time, John

Great video but I am having a difficult time trying to use myYubikey NC NFC with my Pixel 7 Have some suggestions? thanks

[JohnSmith-zlrz]

thank you, now you can explain the other APP to manage the keys: YubiKey Manager ? is confusing!

[islegend]

Good video, I like how you presented it. I have a request if I may ask. Is it possible to use the Yubico Authenticator for Instagram? If it is possible, can you show us how to do it for the IPhone?

[srivwlt]

Hi not quite following the step of “save the secret phase on to a 2nd key”… could u advise a bit more on it?
Thanks

[Paradoxon]

i would have a question in terms of the OTP code generation. does that mean i need the key for every OTP i want to generate or is that just for the initial setup? I intend to use the OTP function with a key, but i would not like it if i need to use the key everytime i just want to use a OTP when logging in somewhere. Can you shed some light of the usage as i could not find that anywhere. Thanks!

[ikust]

Splendide . Could you talk about their Password feature, instead of using Password for an example ?

[Pogol]

Have you ever tested the Raivo Authenticator for iOS? If so, how does it compare to the Yubico Authenticator?

[indianrhetoric]

So if the secret key comes in QR code, where is the secret key in hardware used in the process?
Do you mean secret key from QR code is stored on yubikey?

[ispreteristforce]

Hello! I was just wondering, if you would be willing to show how to use the Yubico Authenticator App for Instagram? Just curious.

[vakasali]

How do you add the code to the spare YubiKey

[kevink]

oh man, I bought the blue one which does not support the phone app. 😒. why would they make one that does not support the app?! When plugging the blue key into the phone it says OATH functionality missing or disabled. What a waste.

[nataschabaunse]

You really know your shit! Subcribed 😄

[Dylanpoller]

Hello, can I installed the authenticator app on a phone and a computer with the same yubikey? So I can login onto my accounts in the case my phone is gone, or login from my phone if I want to by NFC or/and inserting(touching)

[melgreer]

I discovered that copy/paste does not work when using the 'secret' code beneath the QR code. It has to be typed manually (without any spaces). A screenshot can preserve the QR and the secret code if additional keys are needed later.

[razorramon]

I'm not well versed when it comes to 2fa/encryption. My question is if a yubico key is purchased would it work on an apple phone and Android phone or would two different yubico keys be needed?

can you provide a tutorial at how to install yubico authenticator on linux, say LMDE? as due to recent windows excessive issue with privacy and telemetry, im moving away from it and using linux
