Can I use Security Key C NFC as backup for 5C NFC if I use OpenPGP?
Instead, most people generate keypair(s) on an airgapped machine and write them to two Yubikeys. Or write subkeys to a single Yubikey and keep a backup in encrypted form. See https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide

Ask HN: Why does YubiCo need my private key?
I'd recommend using the Yubikey as a GPG smartcard[1]. The private key stays on the Yubikey. I also use it for ssh. But make sure you have a backup key or two, just in case the primary Yubikey gives out. FIDO2 and all other regular Yubikey functionality still works with it.

An Opinionated Yubikey Set-Up Guide
The excellent guide by drduh should be mentioned here: https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide — I've been using this approach for years to store my OpenPGP keys on Yubikeys and use them for SSH.
I don't generate my keys on devices. That lets me be flexible and keep backups, as well as use the same keys on multiple physical devices. Using a single yubikey is a bad idea, as you're bound to eventually lose it or break it. Hasn't happened to me yet in 5 years, but I expect it to happen.

Some guidance from those who use their Yubikey to protect their SSH connections.
I'd be lying if I said I understood all of that. I'm definitely going to do some research ahaha. Someone else on this post sentence this like which they said was very good guide. https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide

When it comes to storing PGP keys what is the difference between a YubiKey and a standard USB key
When storing the key on a Yubikey, however, all you need is just the PIN in order to use the key. It can contain numbers, letters, symbols, etc. and can be quite long, so you can treat it as a passphrase for all intents and purposes. There are actually two PIN codes: one regular one, for a read access, and another administrative one, for write access for when you want to modify the gpg applet settings or the key on the Yubikey. There is also a limit to how many times in a row you can enter pins incorrectly, after which the gpg applet gets locked and the only thing you can do is reset it, erasing the PGP keys. See https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide for more information.

Over there, they got pissed about people constantly bugging them about it and closed the bug with the last comment reading:

Help a noob out, please.
for the internet, use a password manager like keepassxc with a strong password.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
Another regression is that KeePassX/C AutoType doesn't work with Wayland, so now instead of a simple CTRL+V in KeePassXC, I have to separately copy and paste the user and the pass.

Bitwarden Adds Support for Passkeys
That's really a shame, I know keepassxc has (recently) added support for passkeys, but does it also support import/exporting them? I only found this comment[0] in the github issue.
