Security, U2F keys, compatibility, etc.

I don't know who to trust for this information so I am asking here. If you can recommend a site or sites you trust and have confidence in, by all means let me know. I never heard about U2F keys until I found out today that Facebook supports it.

Does Safari and Mojave support U2F keys?

Where can I get a U2F key?

Can you recommend a good VPN?

Thanks,

Mindy

According to one vendor, Yubico, they have keys compatible with High Sierra so you would have to ask them about Mojave. A U2F key is not something I would buy.

As far as a VPN, all I will say is you get what you pay for. Free VPNs are not as good as commercial VPNs. I also don't use a VPN.

1) Safari does not support U2F natively - there is an extension "Safari FIDO U2F" but it doesn't seem to work on github for example nor for gmail

2) I got mine from yubico's website but I'm sure you can find more on amazon

3) Personally I've been using Nord VPN on Mac OS and I'm pretty happy with it - there's native app and all you have to do on macos is to log in and use it.

CHeerio!
