TIL Mastodon supports U2F security keys for two factor authentication.
Did you know that these are an easy and reliable way to keep your online accounts secure?

@bitomag Really? From what I know, as long as your phone supports NFC, you should be fine, right?
@johannes yeah idk. It could be my phone's browser or something, but I just can't get it to work for Mastodon on my phone.
@bitomag it's an out of date browser probably. Phone OEMs truly do ruin everything.
@johannes I tested it on the latest version of Chrome on a pixel 5 running stock android. Didn't work.
@bitomag just looked into it and wow I didn't know the situation on mobile was this bad. This sucks 😔
@johannes damn. Good to know it's not just me I guess, but still sucks
@johannes yeah, they are awesome. BTW did you see #SoloKey? They currently have a great Kickstarter campaign for new #FIDO2 keys: https://solokeys.com/blogs/news/our-solo-v2-campaign-launches-on-january-26th
@johannes wow TIL I can use it on mastodon! I swear by my yubikey. Suuuper convenient!
@johannes I've found them difficult to use on mobile with Mastodon though, which is annoying.
