Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Oh---you mean you can make one key into a clone of another?

No, the main thing separating hardware U2F tokens from crypto hardware wallets is that with hardware U2F tokens the key is totally baked into the token and can't be exported, so it will be lost forever if the token is destroyed. Crypto hardware wallets are unique in that they let you export & import the key. Sorry I edited the post that you're replying to a few times with extra details so you may not have read them.
