"Need" probably isn't the right word. "Strongly desire" or "greatly prefer" would more accurate.</p><p>The reason is that I have lots of different devices with different port types. Some of my newer devices only have USB-C ports, while my older devices only have USB-A ports, and I'd really like to have just "one key to rule them all," so to speak.</p><p>I know that I could buy a little USB-A/C adapter dongle and keep that on the same keychain with the MFA key, but that introduces a degree of fragility that I'd prefer to avoid if possible. </p><p>That being said, if I found a hardware MFA key with all of the features I listed except for USB-C, then I'd happily accept the dongle compromise, because most of my devices (even the old ones) support Bluetooth, so I'd still have that as a backup option in case the dongle fails.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MFA</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/2FA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>2FA</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fido</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fido2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fido2</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fido3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fido3</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NFC</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/USBc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBc</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/USBa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBa</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dongle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dongle</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Biometric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biometric</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Fingerprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fingerprint</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/YubiCo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YubiCo</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/YubiKey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YubiKey</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Bluetooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bluetooth</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a></p>
