another thing that still puzzles me in #yubikey: i do not get short and long press, other than that if someone else gets access to my key,it is game over :-)

perhaps i've misunderstood the feature but at least on surface it looks insecure by design...

@jarkko Are you referring to the static password feature? It's one of the earliest YubiKey features, and is well suited for only specific use cases where randomness and strength of the password (or not having to type it for some of the reason) are more important than resisting physical compromise (for example, in a highly physically secured area).

@tychotithonus I barely know how to use it to seal my OpenPGP but at least from the yubikey manager you can configure authorizations for short and long press of the device.
