Review on πŸ”‘ Solo Tap - Enhanced NFC Security Key with U2F and FIDO2 Support - USB-A + NFC by Cameron Kennedy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfect. ish: Data Storage

security key works properly. Technically this is a great product. I was hoping to use it to log into Windows, but Windows just won't let me. I wanted secure login to Windows 10, but it doesn't work well with Windows. No matter how you do it, you will eventually need to use passwords or PINs. As a replacement for something like Google Auth, this works great. You don't need a phone, you don't need to enter any codes. In general, I'll put it on the shelf and forget about it for a while. I'll test it again with Windows in a few months to see if anything has changed. What I think would be ideal is if I could boot into Windows, insert my key and log into Windows. This would allow me to use Windows Hello to open all other essentials with a higher level of security. Now that Windows 10 is up and running I don't find it very secure and I still have to use passwords or pins to log in. Even with this key, I don't trust Windows Hello.

Pros
  • Works with Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Github, AWS and anything that supports FIDO2 or FIDO U2F.
Cons
  • negative present
