I wish there was a way to require both biometrics and PIN. They're both insecure on their own, but together they're better. Like instant MFA for your unlock. I would enable that immediately, if it was available.
Edit: then a password / passphrase in case one of the other two stops working (as an emergency unlock).
linux fun fact, im pretty sure you can just do this out of the box using PAM auth.
Gotta love android and IOS being utter dogshit.
Maybe. I don't biometrics on my computers. Only phone. I don't unlock my computer a thousand times a day using a crappy touch kb. Actually, if the phone had a physical kb, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. Not sure.
i wouldnt really want to use biometrics on my computer either, i'd rather use a physical security key, but then i'd probably also want to use it with my phone also. So there's that i guess.
The only issues I have with a yubi on a phone, is the general fragility of USB-C ports (and that there is only one). On a PC or laptop, you've generally got several, so if one breaks and the yubi can't be used in that port, you're not locked out.
yeah, i would be doing something more like NFC smart card type shit tbh. Perhaps an embedded chip in your hand or something. There are options.
