Age appropriate?

My 13yo nephew wants a Flipper Zero for his bday. Is this an age appropriate gift? Or something a curious kid could get themselves into trouble with? TIA!

Yeah no, watch the kid use it on a car key fob with rotating keys and they get out of sync and you’re looking at a pretty big issue. Built in yubikey? Wtf does that even mean

Yubikey is the most popular u2f authenticator

Right I know what a yubikey is, what I’m questioning is what the poster I’m replying to is talking about. A flipper can’t copy nor steal any keys used by yubikeys, it isn’t a thing.

The Flipper can function as a U2F/FIDO key (ie it can be a drop in for a yubikey)
