My bet on the reason for creating this: new Macs have no USB-A port, and there are no USB-C U2F tokens that fit flush in the port.

Github isn't too cheap to buy the token. The token they want to buy simply doesn't exist.



By flush, do you mean fully hidden inside the port? Yubikey has the 4C which should work on the MacBook and is the same size as their normal keys.


I mean you put it in the port, and leave it there permanently. Moving the laptop around, putting it in/out of backpacks and bags with no risk of damage or serious snags or pressure.

Yubikey 4C definitely does not qualify.
