YubiKey support

The dedicated Protonmail community deserves a real response from the crack team of Protonmail scientists and engineers. When are you implementing Yubikey or are is your tag line just bs?

    Please add U2F that would also support other devices, not just Yubikey.

  • Bjarne H. Nielsen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would also like to see this feature implemented.

    That said, it is possible to use (some?) Yubikeys as TOTP tokens for 2FA (the token will need both a display and a timesource, which is why it needs to be connected to your phone or (possibly another) computer while authenticating).

  • Isaac commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add support for U2F as soon as possible!

  • Edward Huff commented  ·   ·  Report

    SMS as 2FA is totally insecure because SMS can be redirected. You should mark it deprecated and scheduled for removal. Standard hardware tokens should be supported.

    It would be really nice to have yubikey for 2FA. This would most certainly be a plus given that I use Yubikey to access my clients.

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, yes, - I would love to enable 2FA for this account, but the process, compared to my usual ******* solution, is an absolute PiTA. - I realise that ******** have to be purchased, and that they are not cheap, either; but, that said, you cannot beat just being able to authenticate yourself with a simple button press; quite aside from ******* being very secure (arguably more secure, in fact, that email or mobile handset solutions).

    +1! @protonmailteam if you don´t want to implement that feature for "reasons" please explain them.

  • Craig Mcgee commented  ·   ·  Report

    oh god!! yes!! please! yubikey is so much easier than google authenticator especially as im totally blind and having to listen to both iPhone and computer to enter the code.

  • Ross commented  ·   ·  Report

    OTP apps don't provide a second factor if the user is accessing their account on mobile. That's like running the OTP app on a desktop environment when accessing the account from a desktop computer. Yubikey is the best answer to this. It's a true second factor.

    Also, if I'm travelling, it might be that I am asked, e.g. by border guards/security, to give access to my phone. If I have my app there, it will reveal the existence of my Protonmail account. This means I have to remove that before I travel. Yubikey would not reveal that I have a Protonmail account.

    NEED U2F!! I'm sure it would give you a whole new market of people who are switching to U2F as it's the most secure method known

  • James commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see support for U2F added aswell please!

  • James commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see support for Yubikey added too please!

  • James commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see this support added too please!

  • John commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, please do expand PM to support Yubikeys. - OTP would be my prefered choice, but it would be wonderful just being able to use my Yubikey for 2FA.

  • crypton4te commented  ·   ·  Report

    i need protonmail to have Yubikey support too, it would be more convenient

  • Mike commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm very excited about yubikey and I can't wait when it gonna be in protonmail. Secure and so convenient. Please add it...

  • Tez commented  ·   ·  Report

    You are reading my mind, It would be great if the ProtonMail team added U2F support.
