What happens if your only YubiKey gets lost, stolen, or disappears into the laundry? 😬 That’s exactly why you should never rely on just one hardware security key.
In this video, I’ll show you how to correctly set up multiple YubiKeys for your accounts - one as your everyday primary key, and one stored safely as a backup. I’ll also explain what YubiKeys are, why they’re more secure than SMS and authenticator apps, and how to register more than one key on services like Bitwarden and Proton.
If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your account security, this is one of the best ways to do it.
In this video:
- What a YubiKey is
- Why hardware security keys are better than SMS 2FA
- Why you should always set up a backup key
- How to register multiple YubiKeys on your accounts
- Why saving 2FA QR codes can be risky
- How to test both keys so you don’t lock yourself out
