$45 now, up from $40. Still, a tool that everyone should be using imo.

If you want the optimal balance of security and convenience, use a supported password manager (basically all mainstream ones) with a YubiKey:

No thanks. I'm happy with Myki password manager and 2fa.

I bought yubikey neo and then 2 weeks later they release yubikey 5. So what is the difference? I can see it is fido2 compliant where the neo is not, but I can't quite see what the advantage is. e.g. will I not be able to authenticate with my finger print and my neo on a laptop? Or will I need to do username, password and u2f?

I am a bit confused.
