My company blocked ssh keys in favour of password + 2FA. Honestly I don’t mind the 2FA since we use yubikeys, but wouldn’t ssh key + 2FA be better?
Just store your keys on the yubikey. Problem solved.
Or use a smart card profile and go that route.
All well and good when ssh activity is anchored in a human doing interactive stuff, but not as helpful when there's a lot of headless automation that has to get from point a to point b.
Yep. All the headless automation broke…
We use keys + Yubikey 2FA (the long alphanumeric strings when you touch the Yubikey) at work, alhough they want to move all 2FA to Yubikey FIDO2/WebAuthn in the future since regular numeric/text 2FA codes are vulnerable to phishing. All our internal webapps already require FIDO2, as does our email (Microsoft 365).
