Remember, the vulnerability in Yubikeys doesn't make them weaker than most sms 2fa

I love mine but my laptop just sits on my desk and it's mostly a convenient way to not have to type my password dozens of times per day.

@Rivetgeek yeah, so much of the time. someone told me that facebook tells employees to leave theirs in their laptops, which is, at least, funny.

SMS 2FA is mostly because because SMS numbers suck

The funny thing is mine still isn't plugged into my laptop itself. I just never unplug the Yubikey from where it is. So it's not totally pointless if someone stole my laptop (they'd have a bad time either way considering the hard drive is encrypted).
