Ignore the bad reviews! This is a must have
YubiKeys are a must at every tech company I've worked for. They offer the highest level of security and are incredibly easy to set up. I’ve used them for over eight years, and they’ve saved me from multiple phishing attempts. If you see negative reviews, ignore them—it’s usually just a lack of technical know-how. Take the time to learn the system; the security payoff is worth it.
Easy to use
Pick up from Bolo locker in SF , FBA delivered very fast on the next day . It works perfectly and easy to set up for boa . A little bit expensive but will see the quality and get it updated on review later .
Enhanced Security at Your Fingertips: A Review of the YubiKey 5 NFC
Side note - I use the open-source BitWarden password manager, which supports Yubikeys. BitWarden is free on multiple devices like PC, Mac, Linux, and your smartphone - for some of the bells and whistles like supporting a YubiKey you have to upgrade to their $10 a year plan, totally reasonable and you should support this company, they are great and my favorite password manager.Now - on to the Yubikey itself. One of the great selling points is that you cannot log on to services that support Yubikey (e.g. your bank, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) if you do not have physical possession of the Yubikey. If someone happened to obtain your User ID and password somehow, they still wouldn't be able to log in thanks to the Yubikey, so that is peace of mind. Speaking of peace of mind, do yourself a favor and buy 2 because you're going to want to store the backup key somewhere safe and easily accessible in case you ever lose your primary key. It is not technically necessary, but it would be an extra hassle to try and prove to the bank or other service that you are the actual client because you won't be able to log in without the key, so there is no easy password reset that you might be used to. Each company has different procedures if you have to call them if you lost your only Yubikey, for all they know you might be a leet hacker trying to social engineer them, so having the backup key gives peace of mind and you can avoid that problem if you are prone to losing things.In a digital world filled with passwords as long as the Great Wall and security measures more complicated than a Rubik's Cube, finding a solution that balances convenience and protection is a quest worthy of a tech-savvy knight. Enter the YubiKey 5 NFC – a pocket-sized guardian that brings a touch of magic to the realm of online security.At first glance, the YubiKey 5 NFC may seem like a humble USB stick, but beneath its unassuming exterior lies a treasure trove of security features that would make even the most paranoid IT guru grin like a Cheshire cat. With support for a myriad of authentication protocols, including FIDO U2F and FIDO2, OTP, PIV, and smart card, this little key unlocks a world of possibilities for safeguarding your digital kingdom.But what truly sets the YubiKey 5 NFC apart from its peers is its Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. With a wave of your hand (or a tap of your phone), you can seamlessly authenticate with your YubiKey using compatible mobile devices, turning your smartphone into a digital Excalibur that vanquishes would-be hackers with ease.Setting up the YubiKey 5 NFC is as simple as pie – even for those whose tech skills are as rusty as an ancient server rack. Just plug it into a USB port or tap it against your NFC-enabled device, follow the prompts to register it with your accounts, and voila! You're one step closer to digital invincibility.The YubiKey 5 NFC is a game-changer in the world of online security – a trusty sidekick for the modern-day digital hero. So, whether you're a code-slinging developer, a data-wrangling sysadmin, or just someone who wants to keep their online accounts safe and sound, the YubiKey 5 NFC is here to save the day (and your passwords).Final note - regular 2FA (two-factor authentication) of the type that sends you a text message with a ~6-digit code can be compromised by "SIM jacking" i.e. a hacker calls and socially engineers your cell phone plan provider like T-Mobile, AT&T, etc., and convinces them that the hacker is you, and you want to transfer your cell service to a new SIM card because you lost yours. The cell providers don't always do a great job in this situation and have been known to transfer your account to the hacker and their SIM card. I guess you would have to be a high-value target for something like this to happen, but it's good to know that the Yubikey protects you from this type of attack and has your back.
Easy setup . SECURE!!
Love it, keeps accounts extremely secure and protected. Easy setup
Good, but can’t do OTP generation.
The YubiKey Security Key series is cheap and seems like it would be reliable but unfortunately it does not support the use of OTP generation which means I can’t use it with my org vpn. Had to return. Be aware of what it can do but I’m sure it’s a great device.
Not at all as easy to setup as the presentations make it out to be.
Bought this from a presentation on YouTube about this product and really wanted to like it. It was confusing as all get out to setup and even following the on-line instructions it wouldn't work properly. Eventually, I had to contact Yubikey's Support who then sent me a link for Google to get my key setup and I am still able to bypass it on my system. I followed their (Yubikey) instructions to the letter and was very disappointed in the end. I get what it's suppose to do but it doesn't work as described (at least in my experience). I already had Google's highest degree of privacy settings turned on when I went in to set it up but had to turn them off in order for the key to even be recognized. Had I known that it would have saved me at least some frustration. Maybe part of it is my own ignorance but I'm not at all impressed with this product. I wound up buying 4 of this specific type of key (there are many different types which adds to to confusion) with the intent of giving them out as Christmas gifts but after my experience of trying to setting it up, I'm not really sure I want to do that to anyone. Maybe it's the type of key I bought also? I don't really know at this point but in good conscience I can't recommend this product, and I really did want to like it for what I thought it was capable of doing. The idea is excellent but the implementation (in my opinion) is awful at best. Trying to add additional accounts to it is just as frustrating as it was to simply set it up also. Sorry to Yubikey but this was a definite no for my Christmas list!Even after setup I'm not even sure it actually works.
Perfect
Works perfect with my Debian Linux install and Duo.
