[QUOTE="R2D2, post: 1100682, member: 64945"] It is still safe to use because: a) The hacker needs to know your username and password b) He needs physical access to your Yubikey c) He needs time to clone the key whilst it's in his possession d) Using a FIDO password can deter an attack to a large degree. My keys have always had a FIDO authentication password. e) Last but not the least the $$ involved. Only groups with relatively deep pockets will attempt this and only if you are a target worth the time, money and effort. TBH I am not overly worried about this issue. And yes I am a home user using these keys to protect my critical personal email and other accounts. [/QUOTE]
