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.
