OpenAI mandating Yubico hardware keys is actually a big step forward for auth security

[u/EnthusiasmRoutine]

Seeing OpenAI mandate hardware security keys and expand their Yubico partnership is a solid move. FIDO2 authentication eliminates man-in-the-middle phishing completely. App authenticators and SMS codes were always temporary fixes, and phishers bypass them easily now.

Having physical possession of your private key on a token gives you real cryptographic proof of identity. The FIDO2 standard itself is open, and getting everyday users comfortable with hardware tokens builds better security habits. I moved my own systems to physical keys a while back, and it solved a lot of credential headaches.

Are you picking up the discounted OpenAI bundle key set, or are your existing YubiKeys already doing the job?
