4 years agoYubikey instead of Master Password
I don't understand why Yubikey cannot be used instead of 1Password's Master Password. --other than perhaps that "U2F isn't supported by all 1Password apps just yet". Are there any other reasons?

4 years agoHey @tplas:
Generally speaking, while it's technically possibly to use the static password feature of certain Yubikeys instead of the account password, this isn't something we really recommend, because of the risks inherent with physical keys: loss of the key, theft of the key, etc.
Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that if your device is compromised, it isn't just your account password that has potentially been keylogged, it's everything else you've done on the computer.
We're exploring additional options that would allow Windows Hello to persist across reboots on TPM 2.0 enabled devices, so keep an eye out for updates!
