Sounds similar to the Yubikey that I use, although that has NFC as well, so I can use it on my smartphone.

Sounds good......

Oh wait....

Because Security Key requires a USB port, users won't be able to use the tool on mobile devices. Additionally, Google has made Security Key a Chrome-only tool, so you won't be able to access sites via Firefox or Internet Explorer via Security Key.

..... And there's the fail..... two lots of it.

Plus lots of places lock out the USB ports on public PCs anyway. Too easy to end up with crap all over the computer that way.

If you're paranoid you certainly wouldn't be using Google.

Aha, it is a Yubikey, well, it is a castrated Yubikey. It only uses the FIDO protocol, whereas the proper Yubikey is much more flexible.

All my USB ports are full. I'd have to unplug something.
