Can I use multiple YubiKeys for the same Miva admin account?

[davdg75]

I use a YubiKey for 2FA for miva admin. I have a work computer and a home computer, and I would like to leave my YubiKey at work.

Is it possible to have an additional YubiKey that I keep at home in order to to log into the same account from home?

This way, I won't have to bring the YubiKey back and fourth or accidentally forget it.

I think you can only use one YubiKey per account. I can appreciate the need to not travel with the key. I have a similar situation when I am at my desk or if I'm using my laptop. I use a YubiKey to manage access to multiple accounts.

You might just have to create two accounts

Why not use Authy app?

In my case, I have to access "multiple" sites. When I was using the phone app, by the time I scrolled through everything it was already generating a new number (the scrolling just drove me nuts). The Yubikey, for me, is just so easy. It stays plugged into the machine I'm working from, I touch it and go. It takes a second to move it to another machine but again, it works for me.

Makes perfect sense in your case.

Thanks for the info, I did some more digging on Yubico's site which mentions having spare keys here: https://www.yubico.com/products/spare/

Does this apply to the Miva admin panel? Like if I had a spare I could potentially use both keys at different computers (or just having a spare in general sounds like a good idea).

I confirmed with Dev: "we only support a single 2fa method/token per account"

Thank you for the info! Much appreciated.

The easiest answer today is 1 account per Yubikey and since we don't charge for named accounts, that should suffice.

I have two keys & two users. I use one user/key at work and the other at home granted you have to have two sets of preferences etc but I actually find that useful.

It will help you track down if you messed up at work or at home
