![]() The second account I wanted to use the Yubikey with is my Google Account, again a problem comes up. Will I expose my website’s security to a plugin not updated for the last 2 years that looks like abandonware? Sure not and I think that anybody who cares about their WordPress blog wellbeing should not use a Yubikey until a company or somebody reliable officially updates and supports the necessary plugin. ![]() Yubico lists self-hosted WordPress blogs as “ supported“, after buying the Yubikey I found out that the plugin for WordPress is not developed by Yubico, it has been coded by an individual and it has not been updated for over two years, it rightly comes up flagged with a security warning in the WordPress plugin directory. Trusting everything a manufacturer says when they are trying to sell a product is not clever. I also use the Yubikey with Vivaldi, a Chrome based browser and it also works, this way I can avoid a pure Chrome browser loaded with Google spyware.īefore buying the tokens I researched on Yubico’s website what online services I could use the Yubikeys with, that was my first mistake. Something to remember is that Yubikeys only work with the Chrome browser, Mozilla Firefox intends to add U2F support in the future but this has not been done yet.įortunately there is a Firefox addon called “ U2F Support Add-on” that has been reviewed by the Mozilla team to make sure that it doesn’t have security complications and it works. ![]()
