HYPERFIDO Pro MINI U2F/FIDO2/HOTP Security Key

I had an important account compromised, so I decided to increase my security measures by getting one of these. It was much more affordable than a yubikey, and while this key lacks the ability to connect to my smartphone, I do most of my online activities via PC, so this suits most of my needs. Super quick and easy to setup - simply press the button when prompted and you're in! And I haven't experienced any security issues since using it. If you're on a tight budget, or don't need the added lightning/phone connectivity, this will cover your needs. Be safe!

Works as advertised. No problem setting up to use with online accounts. Nicely compact, and doesn't obstruct adjacent slots on my USB hub. Much less expensive than many competitors.

I've had my HYPERFIDO Pro Mini Security Key since 2020 and loved it. The small size meant I could leave it in my laptop all the time and the button was much nicer than the way Yubikey operates. Yesterday, my luck ran out. The button was misaligned and could not be operated. I ripped the metal shell off and discovered the switch had become separated from the board. I might be able to resolder it or perhaps replace it, but it's not going to sit comfortably in my laptop any more. Anyway, I will probably just store my passkeys on my phone from now on.

This is the cheapest FIDO2 security key I've seen available Prime via Amazon. It's build quality isn't top-notch (I had an older version, U2F/FIDO"1" fall apart on me), but it's plenty sufficient for what it is. Tested on Windows 10 and Ubuntu; yes it can do static password but the FIDO2 capabilities are why you'd buy this. Tested with SSH; works with ecdsa-sk but not ed25519-sk; so far the only FIDO2 keys I've seen that work with ed25519-sk are the Yubikey variants. Comes with a little keychain-lanyard thing. The packaging is small and easy to open but not minimal; much bigger than it needs to be.

Cool Tool

Use this on my phone and laptop for extra security on top of passwords. Works perfectly, and easily added to Google security for password management. I constantly change my Google password and forget it a week later. Pop this in usb slot and when Google asks how I want to verify my identity, I click "try another way" then us security devices, and press the button...thats all it takes.

Win 11 mini PC, no issues with BofA (at least in my setup). I have no other use for the key. Passkey can be stored on the USB key. Purchased 2 upfront - both worked from the first try. Button action is clean and with good mechanical feedback / click.

This was exactly what I needed for my university! It has a button at the end that glows green when active, so you can tell immediately if it's working or not. I seriously just plugged it in--no issues. Honestly, the hardest part was just getting the key out of the protective case it comes in, haha. I could totally understand how this product could feel cheep, especially if you have to remove it from computers all the time. It might be hard to get a good grip on it to remove it from a USB port, so it doesn't surprise me that it might break that way after a while. However, if it's a personal computer that you're using, you can just leave the key plugged in all the time. It's sticks out of a USB port by around half an inch, so I don't feel like it's gonna get banged up in the way a flashdrive would. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and would totally recommend it for anyone else trying to use Duo verification without downloading the app.
