Spent $60 on a hardware key and it just stopped a phishing attempt cold
Got a fake login email for my bank yesterday, but my Yubikey stopped anything from happening because the site couldn't ask for it. Anyone else have a close call that made a security purchase worth it?

Getting that silent judgment from a key is somehow worse than my cat judging my life choices.

Honestly, my Yubikey has saved me from my own dumb self more times than I can count. I once clicked a link so convincing my own mom would have fallen for it, but that little key just sat there silently judging me. Best sixty bucks I ever spent, not for the tech, but for the peace of mind when my brain takes a coffee break.

Ever get that cold sweat moment right after clicking before the key saves you?
