YubiKey gpg/ssh: Great security but tricky install

After deploying security keys to their 50000 employees, Google took a look at their experience. Their 2 year study concluded that key-touch login was great: scalable, efficient to use, less prone to user error, accessible for impaired users, providing solid security at negligible cost.

“If it works for Google” … Just couldn’t wait to try my YubiKeys with gpg/ssh … Turned out to be slick and smooth to use - but with potential to be somewhat technical to install!
