i want to get some security key at some point, like I'll probably get a nitrokey or whatever, but what are the problems with both of the companies 🥴

@jeder Yubikey: Uses proprietary protocols, not possible to update or replace software
Nitrokey: Sells preorders they haven't shipped in like a year (3C), hasn't delivered on promises- main selling points of hardware are "coming soon in software updates" but nothing has come so far
Solokey: Abandoned the Kickstarter and development of V2, took money and ran
Onlykey: No NFC, apparently hard to use small pin pad

@jeder yubico: proprietary protocols, extensively lies about the reasons why source isn't available and why software updates are impossible: www.yubico.com/blog/secure-hardware-vs-open-source/

tl;dr: the real reason is nxp's lawyers

@jeder I think yubico is like the mastodon of security keys it just does what it wants with the stantard and whoever else is also in the space has to follow what they do or risk losing what little market share they have
