    Thanks for the great video! The one thing you didn’t mention is how dangerous SIM swap is because you do NOT need to know a password. A criminal just needs to steal the phone number and know your email address. Then the criminal can reset your email password by SMS text, then reset your bank passwords with the email access. This makes the Key even more important! Keep up the great videos!

    Thanks this was helpful but a few questions. If my computer got hacked wouldn't that make the YubiKey less secure than an authenticator app because I'm plugging in the YubiKey into my hacked laptop?

    Have you used any password encrypted files to store recover codes? Stellar presentation! Thank you

    Outstanding Sir. I have been watching all your videos as I have found some time to clean up my act. LastPass has a neat function I just noticed that shows all of the compromised places where my info was leaked. Freaked me out. So I have been following your tutorials and going to town on tightening up my ship. I am an apple consumer and own last spring’s iPad Pro with usb C. I use this machine almost exclusively. My problem is, it appears that yubikey doesn’t work on it because of the usb c port it has. Help! What do you suggest as a fix for this problem? I purchased 2 yubico 5 NFC not knowing that iPads do not have NFC, and I stopped short of getting the latest yubico 5 usb c NFC because I saw a bunch of users stating it doesn’t work on the IPad pros 😥 Thanks again and keep up the great work. P.s. the 5 nfc work fine with my 2016 MacBook Pro and iPhone 11 max.

    I already have it secure I just wanna separate password for a separate user I ask a question I seem to always get the opposite of what I asked for. Don't you think you should have an updated video for 2021

    I filled out a cancellation REFUND email and NOTHING happens when hit SUBMIT. I CHATTED with them and they wouldn't cancel the PROFESSIONAL free subscription. They have my Mastercard and now they OWN ME.
