#Token2

I didn't buy that Token2 model because of its NFC capability and USB-C connector, but because it's the cheapest #FIDO2 token supporting Ed25519-SK. I did try out using it with my #Fairphone 3 running /e/OS with #MicroG, and it worked fine.

The silicon case I ordered along with the #Token2 key is unfortunately a bit too thick and thereby prevents the key's USB-C connector from being inserted properly into the FP3 if it's wearing its rubber case as well, which makes NFC a bit tricky too.

The packaging of the Token2 PIN+ Dual R3 is red and decorated with a couple security icons as illustrations in the background. Under see-through plastic resides the security key with a USB-C connector on the left and a USB-A connector on the right.

The key itself is black and decorated with the same illustrations of keys, locks and password stars. The serial number written in text form and as a QR code is blacked out for secrecy.

The actual name of the key is a bit ambiguous, because the main label in the middle reads just “PIN+ R3”, while the label in the top left reads “T2F2-NFC-Dual” and then “PIN+ R3” after a line-break.

As their motto, Token2 have apparently chosen “Security is easy” (which is true for their product! 😉).

The description text reads: “The PIN+ security key series enforces strong PIN complexity rules at the firmware level to ensure maximum security.”

Besides the FIDO logo, there are notes indicating that the product was designed in Switzerland and that only keyrings at most 2 mm thick should be used.The Token2 key wearing a white silicon case with caps that protect the USB-A and USB-C connectors and that are attached to the rest of the case with a silicon hinge. The case itself has a metal keyring.

Besides the #Nitrokey FIDO2, I also already have a Nitrokey U2F & a Solo Somu from #SoloKeys, so I wasn't too keen on paying 50€ + shipping for a new Nitrokey 3A Mini – a product I wouldn't need if my old key's firmware had been updated.

Instead, I bought a 🇨🇭 Token2 PIN+ Dual R3 whose hardware and firmware is also open-source and which costs only 25€ + shipping: token2.eu/shop/product/pin-dua #T2F2

The only downside is that #Token2 manufacture their products outside Europe (Nitrokeys are made in 🇩🇪).

Auf einem Handy öffnet sich sofort automatisch die wenn ein erkannt wird. Wie kann ich das abstellen?

Ich kann so keinen NFC Passkey registrieren, nur über USB 😵‍💫

Egal ob , , oder

I am looking to buy a set of hardware security keys. The #yubikey seems to be the most common and best documented, but the lack of open source and upgradable firmware puts me off. #nitrokey seems like a better option in this regard, but the design is not as nice. I would also very much like a key that combines both USB-A and C. I have now found the #token2 [PIN+ Dual Release3](token2.com/shop/product/pin-du) which fulfills this, but the company is completely unknown to me, and I haven't found much discussion of their products online, which makes me a bit reluctant. They are, however, a member of the FIDO alliance, which is reassuring. The Linux support for their tools also seem to be second-grade. Does anyone have any experience with them?
I intend to use the key for FIDO U2F/FIDO2 authentication, as well as TOTP for the services that do not yet support FIDO. I also want to use it for storing my PGP and SSH private keys.

Ich hab vor zwei Wochen zwei #Token2 als #Passkey eingerichtet. Ratet mal, wer beide Keys zu Hause vergessen hat…

Gerade für ein paar Konten zwei #token2 als #Passkey eingerichtet. Amazon, Google, Mastodon, Discord und (berufliches) Microsoft sind damit erstmal abgesichert. Morgen schau ich mal, welche Services das noch können.

Token2 is an open-source Swiss FIDO2 security key that brings innovative features at a cheaper price

Black plastic device that looks much like a USB stick. At one end there is a USB-A connector and on the other end is a USB-C connector. There is a QR code seen printed on the body.

Token2 is a cybersecurity company specialized in the area of multifactor authentication. Founded by a team of researchers from the University of Geneva with years of experience in the field of strong security and multifactor authentication. Token2 has invented, designed and developed various hardware and software solutions for user-friendly and secure authentication. Token2 is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

Don't believe what AI tells you, as they tend to generalise around past statements. Token2 is a good example of how newer challengers to the incumbents, like YubiKey, bring lots of innovation. For example, Token2 has the ability to store up to 300 passkeys, dual port USB-A and USB-C on a single device, FIDO2.1 with additional PIN, opens-source, etc.

I also like the fact the device's firmware and management is in Switzerland and not within one of the Five Eyes countries.

There are quite a few options, but their FIDO2 Keys page also has a selection wizard to help out.

Whilst prices may be cheaper, depending on your country, shipping may cost a bit more.

Auf Heise bin ich gerade über #Token2 gestolpert. Schaut erstmal interessant aus.

Hat wer von Erfahrung mit dem Herstellern?

Bisher nutze ich zwei Yubikeys, an denen mich wenig stört.

@jpmens 😣 I've already tested the #Token2 #Authy exporter, it's crazy barebones but works. Also, #Bitwarden includes verbatim seeds in its export JSON. Do with that information whatever you wish. 🤐 github.com/token2/authy-migrat

If you NFC token does not get through the protective aluminium casing... just take your drill.

Good news : Response from Token2 :

We've already phased out that form factor, particularly the USB-A version. Apart from the interference caused by the metallic case, we found that the physical push button was less reliable compared to the capacitive touch version.

Could be, but you should really consider the
T2F2-NFC-Dual FIDO2, U2F and TOTP Security Key with NFC, USB-A and USB-TypeC Connectors

That is 20EUR and hypercompatible.
