U2F seems great. I've just started using it and am looking for a device. Maybe now I'll build my own! His article on accelerating a program with hardware was a great read too. https://conorpp.com/2015/12/16/how-to-accelerate-a-program-w...


I use this $6 one.

which I can confirm works with google account, github, dropbox. It is a buttonless design that activates upon insertion.

While an interesting idea, the $4.50 board + $3 in smt parts equates to a 25% cost increase vs. the cheap one above, assuming you already have the tools/programmer. Long term durability of the one I linked is still in question, I've been using it since about Jan 1.


Github login still saves 20% on Yubikey U2F, putting it at $20 (US) shipped to the U.S. and Canada.
