Great value outweighs the cons (also works with USB-C adapter)

Hardware security keys are new to me. Hell, I spent a whole day studying them all because I was intrigued by the concept and the safety. I got my key last week. It didn't work on my laptop for NameCheap.com at first, but I think the problem was with the new Opera browser called GX, or the way my Windows 10 is set up. Anyway, I tried it on my main desktop, and it worked right away without any problems. Then try again on the laptop by changing the NameCheap settings. Now it works great. I boughtโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Reliable

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Efficient, convenient, a bit weak

My employer forces me to use a second factor to log into the store system in case my ID and password are stolen. This is the least annoying option, the worst being accepting the cell phone ringback every time you log into a corporate system. This is the modern internet. It works great with Google Chrome and the FIDO Alliance authentication software that secures the website. Installing Ubuntu Linux 16.04 is esoteric (requires its own 'udev' rule), Windows was automatic. It goes well with myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No instructions

It works USB flash drives

Not much to say about the security key. Either it works. or not (and therefore defective). There are no additional features to compare or specs to evaluate. However, the key works and costs less than other offers. Tested with Google and Twitter. I originally bought it for added security when logging into Windows. However, it seems I didn't do my research thoroughly enough, and at the time of writing this review, Windows 10 doesn't support login keys (although there is an option to do so in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

does not work with Apple Mail

This device works as advertised but note that it does not work with many. I was able to set it up in my Gmail account using the Google Chrome browser and I was able to set it up using Apple Mail on my Ipad and iPhone. However, it does not work with the desktop version of Apple Mail. I've tried at least a dozen times and it never does anything. This suggests that Apple is more to blame than the dongle itself, but it's still a problem. In my opinion, there should be a clearer disclaimer on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Security

efficient, comfortable, partly unreliable

My employer forces me to use a second factor for all business logins in case my ID and password are stolen. This is the least annoying option, the worst being accepting the cell phone ringback every time you log into a corporate system. This is the modern internet. It works great with Google Chrome and the FIDO Alliance authentication software that secures the website. Installing Ubuntu Linux 16.04 is esoteric (requires its own 'udev' rule), Windows was automatic. It goes well with my keychain.

Pros
  • data storage
Cons
  • no service
