Overview

Ultra-secure hardware authentication key

Simple to use and ultra-secure, the Yubico YubiKey 5C multi-protocol security key paves the way for a password-free future. The YubiKey 5 offers strong authentication with support for multiple protocols, including smart card authentication and WebAuthn/FIDO2, the new standard for password-free authentication. With YubiKey 5, security is enhanced by strong authentication hardware based on public/private key cryptography. In addition, YubiKey is easy to use, fast and reliable and has been proven on a large scale to dramatically reduce IT support costs and eliminate account hacking.

Easy to use, fast and reliable

Users don't need to install anything and can use YubiKey in minutes. And the YubiKey doesn't require batteries or network connectivity, so it's always on and accessible. The IT department can deploy YubiKeys in days, not months. A single key, with its flexible multi-protocol capabilities, can work natively with hundreds of systems. This eliminates the need for costly integrations or separate devices for each system.

  • Supported authentication and cryptographic protocols include FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F), WebAuthn/FIDO2, Personal Identity Verification-compatible (PIV) smart card and OpenPGP smart card.
  • Runs on all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and Linux, as well as all major browsers.
  • Available in several versions that allow users to connect via USB, NFC or Lightning.

Relying solely on usernames and passwords puts corporate data at risk. Catastrophic security breaches make global headlines every day. Adopting stronger authentication for employees and customers is essential to minimise the risk of becoming the next victim.

    Securing Internet access

    This key makes it possible to secure access to internet accounts, adding another layer when login and password aren't enough.
    I bought 2 of them, one with NFC for the phone and this one. They also provide a backup in case you lose one.
