Mt Gox Yubikey broken...

[wolverine.ks]

So ive had to replace my mt gox yubikey 3 times so far.

after about 9 months it just stops lighting up and no longer works....

i never mishandle it, its either in the usb port or in a safe place.

any thoughts? anyone else experience this?

Use google authenticator.  Or better yet, stop using Gox.

The thoughts would be that "broken" means something else than what you think in this context.

Well I've tried multiple computers and it doesn't light up or get recognized by any of them.  so what else could it mean ?

"Mt Gox Yubikey broken..." as a thread title implies that you have managed to somehow or to some degree breach the security presumed to have been offered by Yubikey as deployed on MtGox.

"[Pointless thread nobody cares about] [DIARY] My dumb ass broke some usb stick - time to get another." conveys what actually occurred in this topic.

Other than that, how's your dog? What did you have for dinner last? Did you like it? How was the service? Are you slow?

Ahh. That may have been what you inferred,  however it was not what I implied.
Also I didn't realize that you were in charge of what can and cannot be posted on these forums.
is there any punishment involved with posting something that you dislike,  other than your public shaming and ridicule?

Yes, you have to drink castor oil.

But seriously, people are edgy. Hash king made a passing sarcastic remark once that he's 15, it took months for everyone to finally accept that no, not 15. Best title topics according to their content.
