I’ve been thinking about getting a couple of Yubikeys for a partner and myself, but we share certain accounts. While I would love to have the Yubikey 5 that can store TOTP, that seems like it could be problematic for shared accounts.

Would using the cheaper Yubico Security Keys to unlock Bitwarden Premium vaults, that use a Shared Organization, be a better/more sane option than trying to sync up TOTP secrets every time a new shared account gets added? Any other critiques or suggestions?

    If you’re just storing the password on the key then, no you can’t get it unless you have the key. The main usage (arguably) for a yubikey is the FIDO2 auth method where you add those keys as MFA methods. That would allow access using either key.

      Thanks, that’s kind of what I was thinking.

      Sounds like a YK5 might still be a viable use case, but I’d have to do a deeper analysis of what account 2FA secrets would need to be shared versus which can be relegated onto individual keys and safely lose that “always accessible anywhere” trait.
