I use a Nitrokey, which itself is a reader. I keep it in the small pocket of my pants (if it has it), and I'll even keep it on the side of my ankle in my sock if I'm wearing longer socks for work (interesting idea from a co-worker when it fell out of my pocket). I find it to be very convenient, and it cannot be stolen without me realizing, since it's stored in one of two locations that cannot be accessed without being seen and felt. -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 https://mikegerwitz.com
