The 5Ci is YubiKey’s latest hotness, joining the 5-series which were announced in 2018. Balancing security with convenience is difficult, and when I’m duty-bound to err on the side of security… well I end up with very little convenience and lots of time spent juggling auth. That’s three different authentication facets for one service alone, so you can start to see how complicated my digital life can be. Chief among them is GitHub where authentication ranges anywhere from simply logging into the web front-end, to pushing new code up to the service from the command-line, to signing that code to prove (assuming the security of my private key) that I – a theoretically trusted person – authored it. This work requires a certain level of trust, and a whole host of services against which I must authenticate. Specifically I write and maintain a number of Python drivers and other projects chiefly relating to the Raspberry Pi and usually aimed at making it possible to integrate sensors, buttons, dials, screens and more with the platform.
My goal? Find out how many services and devices I could use this digital key to unlock, and whether the process streamlines, or hinders, my daily authentication overhead.įirst, for those of you who don’t know anything about me, I should establish that I’m a developer. Yubico were quick on the draw and shipped me a 5Ci to try out. The YubuKey has been on my radar for a while now, but it’s not until the iPhone-compatible 5Ci that I’ve thought “now’s the time” and made a concerted effort to reach out to them.
