I’m using proton services and now the Pass password manager as well. I never let any managers save my bank data such as credit cards or login credentials being sort of afraid to.

Is this concern still valid? when using a manager like Proton Pass that has e2e encryption? what’s your opinion on holding bank data in managers like this?

    It’s one key with NFC for mobile devices plus a port of your choice. I’d check out there main site for this model, https://www.yubico.com/product/yubikey-5-series/yubikey-5c-nfc/

    It is kinda pricey but they work well and they are well built, very easy for setup and use. I’ve almost always had better luck finding it a bit cheaper on Amazon.

      ok, I see some on my country sites with a reasonable price. thanks for the tips! if you don’t mind I would like to ask one more question in regards to the keys.

      How does they work in pairs? Like, I see an auction where I can buy one key separately, but to dont get locked out of account I would rather want to buy two. Should I look for auction with bundle of two? or I can set up two separate keys to be used for the same authorizaion?

        Yes, it is recommended to purchase 2. It literally makes them identical in case you lose your primary. 1 in a safe and 1 on your key ring kinda thing.

        Some websites may not allow recovery if you lose your key, so yes a 2nd one is useful if possible. And yes, you would be able to use both interchangeably.

          thanks for your help! gotta get them then for my Proton account to keep it safe and handle all the other auths with passwords and TOTPs I guess.
