ytddewqf Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi, Just a quick question. Does anyone have any experience or advice regarding the Titan Security Key, specifically how it would play with Unraid? As it uses NFC, I was wondering if it would be possible to setup Unraid to use the key (located in maybe a nearby draw) in order to boot up, however in the event of the server being stolen, then the key would be an extra level of security. I may have misunderstood the use of the key and be off point, but wanted to ask. Quote Link to comment
Darksurf Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 The Titan Security key is basically Google's idea of a Yubikey. Its FIDO U2F. You're asking for something along the lines of: Now, there is a method you could use U2F for and that is encryption. I encrypt my desktop and have a randomly generated 32 character password (alphanumeric+symbols). Yubikey's have 2 slots. I've set slot 1 (tap) to be U2F and slot 2 (hold down) as the 32-character password. I use the 2nd slot to decrypt my system. I couldn't remember the password if I wanted. I know you can encrypt drives now in Unraid, so you could encrypt all the storage and use a 32 character password completely randomly generated alphanumeric+symbols and store it on a couple keys in slot2. Put one key in a safe and another on your keyring. 1 Quote Link to comment
