Yubico - YubiKey 5 NFC - Two Factor Authentication USB and NFC Security Key, Fits USB-A Ports and Works with Supported NFC Mobile Devices - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password

It's quite brilliant, I love the concept, since it's a physical USB it's never gonna be hacked as it requires a physical touch and it's interesting to learn about the new technology involved, I've secured my Google and Binance. Granted it doesn't work for free on every service. BitWarden charge a subscription to open the feature for example, not all websites offer YubiKey protection as well, but those 2 are important to me. Adds another layer of security to 2FA and account recovery options. I won't lose it because it doesn't leave my room, it has key chain hole if you do want to travel with it, I haven't needed to, but a professional employee might find it useful to have 2 instead of 1, for the workplace, also it could benefit from wider adoption to even securely login to devices without an onscreen password, like a key card type function, keeping the USB as it is so stolen hard drives, USB sticks and laptops prove useless to physical thieves and set option to lockout for some time or data wipe if wrong YubiKey is used, a little bit pricey but I think the technology has a lot more scope and potential than just Internet accounts to protect from physical theft and sale of stolen devices as well. It lives up to the hype imo well worth it. I'm glad to have it.

I have been after a security key for a while and I'm sure glad I went for this one. Easy to set up and use and compatible and connectivity across windows device and android phone is a big win for me also the ability to have a back up key made and stored. Quality feels strong and robust and there are plenty of covers available

Works great for USB. I use it for Windows logon and for Yubico Authenticator app for sites that have OTP codes. It's also supported by Lastpass and Google. Of course, you'll probably want to get two of these as a backup in case you lose one. I have one permanently at home and the other on my keyring for mobile/laptop use when out and about. The one slight drawback as by design, many sites that support 2FA, only allow you to register one code. Ideally, you would register separately for each Yubikey, rather than having to set up the same on both Yubikeys at the same time, this way, if a Yubikey is lost, you can revoke the 2FA only for the lost key. One small drawback is you'll need both Yubikeys to hand every time you set up or remove a 2FA, to update both, as may sites/apps don't let you see the QR code again once it's been set up. This is perhaps offset by the useful ability to plug the Yubikey into any device, securely use your 2FA/auth, and then unplug it, rather than having to set it all up again for every device. It takes a bit of time to set up and get used to, but you'll be in a much more secure once it's done. The NFC feature never worked on my Huawei/Honor Play phone, despite all sorts of fiddling around with the NFC settings, so I had to use an adapter to USBC to use the YubiKey with this phone, but I just upgraded to a Google Pixel 6 and it works pretty well once you get the technique of how to hold it behind the phone. (doesn't need to physically make contact, just hold quite close to the back) I haven't got SSH/PGP working with it yet as this seems quite complicated to do on Windows and the documentation is somewhat lacking in this area.

I'm a technologist and consider myself far more technically capable than the average consumer. Before purchasing this, in my mind, I thought I could use it for everything and simply tap the button when logging into anything I wanted. This is but a dream that may never materialise because it requires various parties to standardise authentication flows and practices. I've listed a few use-cases below and how they work in the real world; WINDOWS 10 LOGIN - You can add several Yubikeys which is nice. You still have to type in your Windows username and password, if an enrolled Yubikey is not present in one of your USB ports, Windows 10 won't log you in (which is cool). However, it only works with local accounts, not domain accounts or Microsoft ID. So if you login to your laptop or PC with your Microsoft Account (email address) then you'll have to convert your account to local (which is actually really easy and it just means your wallpaper and stuff won't sync to other Windows 10 machines). Secondly, you'll need to install the Yubico Login Configuration tool to set this up. AMAZON SHOPPING/PRIME - You can add several Yubikeys which is great but you can't just login by having the key plugged into a USB port and touching the button. You still put in your credentials and then use the MFA code from the Yubico MFA app (which lists the codes associated with your key). So basically, I ditched the Microsoft Authenticator app, the Google Auth App and another one I was using, installed the Yubico auth app and enrolled MFA again for my critical apps and services. PAYPAL - You can only add one MFA method at a time and have Mobile SMS as a backup. So you have a choice, risk a single Yubikey and if you loose it, you're stuck. Or, use a weak mobile secondary text message service as a recovery option! - Bit pointless in my opinion! LINKEDIN - You can only have one MFA method - Again, single Yubikey and it's not a case of plugging it in/tapping it on your phone via NFC. You still have to enter your creds, unless auto-saved/populated by the app or device or browser and then copy the MFA code from the Yubico MFA app (desktop or mobile). FACEBOOK - The most accommodating and best experience, second only to Windows 10. You can several keys and it's just a touch to login. You must have an MFA auth app setup as a backup which can be anything, but as I was using the Yubico MFA app I just used that for FB too. You're not force to use a weaker mobile SMS as a backup/recovery option and you're not asked for creds all the time. RECOMMENDATION - Use in conjunction with a great credential manager like LastPass or KeePass - Thank me later! I hope that all makes sense, in summary it does add security but that comes with complexity. The amount of security you get depends on what website, app or service you are looking to integrate this with. I think these are over priced to be honest, you would get much better value from having LastPass + LastPass MFA app, having a different robo-generated password for each thing you use and ditching mobile recovery options and all other MFA apps, plus you can't miss-place a password keeper solution. IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED; 1) Prompt, yes/no, allow/deny in the Yubico MFA app(s). 2) Better integration and awareness with common third parties. 3) Further simplification, although easy for me, my mum would give this 5 minutes of effort and throw it in the bin.

This is my third key (first two were not Yubico) and it is performing perfectly - as it should of course. After my first two experiences I was dreading another failure and initially it seemed my fears were justified since I was able to log into my Bitwarden account without needing the key at all - which rather defeats the purpose of a security key. However a brief email to BW solved the problem. It seems you should not leave log in details checked (as in "remember me") as I had done with my email address. They suggested that I use the function "Deauthorise" which eliminates saved details such as email etc. Now it's running and I would highly recommend Yubikey and Bitwarden for high end security. It is perhaps worth mentioning I am quite elderly and anything but expert in computer matters. So I would encourage my peers to have a go at it. You'll get a lot of peace of mind knowing your privacy is taken care of. A big shout to Bitwarden for prompt and helpful advice and to Yubico for a great product.

I purchased one of these to test out increasing the security for all of my online accounts. After checking out many Youtube videos and writeups, Yubikey seemed like as good a product as many and slightly better as they were one of the leaders in creating this technology. I would say that is fairly easy to set up if you have a little computer skill although not so simple that you could give it to someone as a gift and expect them to thank you ;-) The software that you need to enable using it (a bit like the google authenticator app) works well and better than the app because it auto copies the generated code to your clipboard so you can paste it without mucking about. However the separate software needed for altering the settings on the Yubikey is quite old and feels neglected. One big caveat as mentioned in the title, once you have locked up your data using this key, if it ever gets lost, destroyed or stolen, you will be locked out for good! (If you have done it properly :-) so always get a second key and once they are cloned, store that in a secure place physically distant from the main one. That way if the unexpected happens, you can get your life back on track.

⛔️⛔️⛔️ Althought i do not use it to its full potential yet, I really rate this product. So I currently only really use it as a human present touch sensor with the cheap version would do, but i really want to explore all the other security features and maybe upgrade to a bio sensor at some time. 👍👍👍

I bought 2 of these, I bought the 5 NFC and the 5C NFC versions. They came in a small package without any written instructions but there is a web link on the back of the pack to get you going. Once these are setup, there are very easy to use indeed. I personally think they are a little on the expensive side, but that said I don't think I will ever be without them now. For a novice user, I feel the instructions could be made a lot simply to understand but there is a lot of information and videos on the web to help novice users out. I will be buying more of these for sure and highly recommend them.

En tant qu'utilisateur habituel de la double authentification via Authy, je cherchais une solution de sécurité encore plus robuste. C'est là que la YubiKey 5 NFC de Yubico est entrée en jeu, transformant ma manière de sécuriser mes comptes en ligne. L'ajout de la fonctionnalité NFC permet des connexions rapides et sûres, une vraie révolution par rapport à l'authentification classique par application. Bien que j'apprécie grandement la YubiKey pour sa facilité d'utilisation et sa compatibilité avec mon Mac et Ubuntu, je dois noter une limitation. Malheureusement, de nombreux sites web n'ont pas encore adopté la prise en charge des clés de sécurité pour la double authentification. Même si la YubiKey fonctionne parfaitement avec les plateformes qui la prennent en charge, cette limitation réduit un peu la portée de son utilité. Cela dit, pour les services qui acceptent la YubiKey, l'expérience est sans faille. Elle est incroyablement pratique et offre une sécurité de niveau supérieur, surtout comparée aux méthodes traditionnelles de double authentification comme Authy. La portabilité de la YubiKey est un autre grand avantage. Sa petite taille me permet de la garder sur mon porte-clés, toujours à portée de main. Sa conception robuste est également rassurante, sachant qu'elle peut résister à une utilisation quotidienne. En résumé, je recommande la YubiKey 5 NFC à ceux qui cherchent une solution de sécurité avancée, bien qu'il soit important de vérifier la compatibilité avec les sites que vous utilisez régulièrement. Pour les plateformes compatibles, c'est un outil de sécurité inestimable.
