GitHub Supports Web Authentication (WebAuthn) for Security Keys

I've been waiting a million years for another branded sale on YubiKeys like the last time GitHub did one. Those things are so expensive.

Seems like a cool thing to sponsor, too - as long as it's tied to accounts to prevent underhanded measures.

I noticed ArsTechnica is providing a free Yubikey with subscription to their "Pro++" yearly subscription ($50/year). This also provides a 20% discount on additional dongles.

This may not be the "deal" you were looking for. But if you were considering a subscription anyways you could already be a winner.

The $20 Yubico Security Key supports WebAuthn and FIDO2. The NFC-enabled unit is $27.

Note that the feature set on this is limited. Specifically it is missing GPG (and thus SSH) support. It may be added via a software update if the somu campaign goes very well. But frankly that is a long shot.

Of course if you only need WebAuthn then solo keys are a great option.
