Each Thursday we bring you great, new, potential additions to your high-tech, low-life arsenal! We always help answer the question, What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?
This week, that means… mobile protections for data access, and the company is Yubico. That’s right, we are divin’ in on the ultimate gear to protect our data.
Just Johnny
Ok, so maybe you remember the film, maybe you don’t. Whether you thought it terrible or not, not the point. However, what we did glean from that mid-90’s studio flash with pre-Matrix Keanu known as Johnny Mnemonic was an interesting look into the future of data protection and portability.
Thanks TrailersPlaygroundHD
As hybridized digital environs take over the global storage ecosystem, data access and protection are hotly discussed topics as they are predicted in 2021 by the film. However, we for one are thankful it’s a lot less painful…
Thanks Eike Pierstorff
In any case, today we have multi-factor authentication or MFA for short. Instead of the pain of the body, we’ve replaced it with yet another app clogging up our desktop blocking out our available data for the cool stuff like those next-gen miners we are dying to develop for mobile, and wearing out our fingers with all that excessive back and forth trying to remember that stinkin’ six-digit code.
And finally, we found some other great DIYers workin’ it out on Reddit! Build your own and share the love! Or apps that turn our phones into the staking nodes of tomorrow. Or wait we are kinda there.
Anyway, our gear today is that brought by Yubico that yanks our need to constantly reference that little app and type in a bunch of crap all the time. Now we can just Yubikey it with Yubico!
Thanks, Yubico
Anywho… check this one out and let us know what you think! We are dying to try this one ourselves. Thinking a product review will be coming in the future.
As usual, not sponsored by any of these products, companies, or organizations. We just love sharing the coolest gear out there to cyberize and self make our worlds! Come back soon and check out more in Cyber-Gear!
