I install an edge mounted underdesk USB hub and SD card reader for easy access to my USB and SD Cards. This was in part for my Yubikey hardware security token that I am using to secure my online accounts. Hackers have been stealing a lot of social media accounts this last year, usually resulting in people I know losing their accounts. One obvious protection against account hijacking is configuring 2FA or MFA on your accounts using a secure method such as a FIDO capable Yubikey!
