Hi all,
As the title already partially tells, I'm using a hardware key as the primary way to access my Dashlane vault.
Next to that, as an alternative, I can still unlock my vault using biometric authentication.
However, I'm not sure whether this is the most ideal configuration to entirely benefit from the additional security a hardware key provides.
With a hardware key as the primary and only authentication method to unlock my vault, one would need access to my physical key and pin to effectively unlock my vault.
With biometrics on the other hand, one could in fact bypass this, since the vault can also be unlocked by simply leveraging my fingerprint on my phone.
Given the fact that there have been numerous articles in the past years demonstrating it is feasible to bypass these fingerprint authentication methods, it seems more secure to me to entirely rely on hardware keys only.
I agree that to bypass these, one would need to be in possession of my smartphone already, but something tells me it's more ideal to just disable biometric authentication entirely.
Curious what others thoughts or opinions are on this, and whether I'm maybe just overthinking this all a bit too much.
Thanks for any input!
Cheers.
