Seems like another reason not to use yubikeys, especially with the push for Fido. The cynical part of me assumes going public means they'll need to generate more income for investors. Fancy a subscription service to keep you yubikeys working?

So maybe I’m too much of an optimist but I’be been thinking about Tailscale a lot recently because of how much of a game changer their product has been for us. I shudder to imagine what our VPN setup would look like at work if I hadn’t discovered Tailscale a month or two before the COVID craziness all started.

Maybe Yubikey could do to PKI what Tailscale did for VPNs: make the whole process dramatically simpler and easy to use. Still sell Yubikeys, please, but set up a funnel to capture corporate recurring revenue by solving this problem better than the alternatives.

I don't think there's anything Yubico can do that affects the operation of the keys they've already sold. Any adverse product effects will be with new keys they will sell.
