Continuous reprompt Windows Hello
They prompt reads: "You need to enter your account password before you can use Windows hello" but it seems to me that this shouldn't pop up every single time I launch the last pass excuse me one pass...

3 years agoAlmoEnd I evaluated the use of a FIDO2 token such as a Yubikey, but decided against it. It's too inconvenient to use. On paper it's super convenient, but actually no. You need to carry it around, and if you forget it, it's most inconvenient. It's still not supported widespread - often, you still have to enter some password in addition. And there is a risk involved if it gets lost, stolen or broken. Not that I fear the keys within are compromized, it's the fact I lose access to the keys and need to repair this. And if I keep a backup key, it's double the expense, and it's double to inconvenience to keep both keys synchronized.
For these risks and inconvenience, these keys are just too expensive. The things I need to protect are just my own. From attackers, I am only targeted with the crowd of other consumers, I am nothing special. If I were a developer with responsibility beyond myself, this could be a different thing and some inconvenience has to be endured for security's sake, but that's not the case.
