On FIDO keys. Is the Google Titan a completely stand alone device with a documented interface? For anybody in the know are the Yubikey products standalone or tied to a service/proprietary interface?
Both are standalone and use the FIDO interface/standard. Some products from Yubikey support other protocols, as well. There are also other manufacturers of FIDO compatible keys. For Goggle Titan keys (at least my older models) are actually made by Feitian Technologies. https://ftsafe.us/ Also, I have a Ledger Nano hardware cryptocurrency wallet. One of the apps available for it makes it behave as a FIDO key. https://shop.ledger.com/pages/hardware-wallet
I like the idea of a password manager but would like something that is Open Source and deployable directly on my system
KeePassXC is open source and there appears to be native compiles for many Linux distributions. I use the PPA for my Ubuntu systems. -- Scott
