I’ve been a fan of security tokens for a decade now and have accrued quite a collection. This redundancy isn’t a bad thing, as security tokens are easily misplaced and the only way to recover from a lost token is using a second token that is also registered with the service you’re trying to access. I use security tokens whenever I can! SSH authentication, universal two-factor (U2F) authentication, passwordless local login, sudo command elevation, and git commit signing are all things I use security tokens for every day. When I take my laptop traveling, there also travels a yubikey. However, it took me an oddly long time to realize that I’m a relic of a bygone era. Laptops and smartphones all have built-in security tokens these days! I’ve been carrying around yubikeys when an even better one is built right into my macbook. This post is about how I use security tokens, and how I configured my laptop’s secure element to replace my yubikey collection.
