Yubico YubiKeys Review
Since we're at a cyber security consulting firm, we need to protect our data and the data from the customers. So we keep everything with passwords protected with yubico
- You can just tap it in the back of your phone and it works.
- I don't think it's an improvement, but you cannot back it up and that's part of the way it works. But don't lose it. Just don't lose it.

Fast and Secure Way to MFA - and Password-less, Too!
Yubico YubiKeys are an essential part of our logins. When hired, every employee in my business unit receives a YubiKey 5c Nano along with their laptop. Since we are a hybrid workforce and many of us work from home, this allows us to log in with phishing-resistant MFA to all of our SaaS applications that are protected by Duo. Since WebAuthn is the standard from the start, this ensures that the highest level of protection is enforced from an authentication perspective. This has solved the issue of wondering whether or not users are logging in securely from disparate locations. It is also easy for users to authenticate with the tap of a finger to access critical applications - even in a Passwordless workflow!
- Ease of use
- Multiple authentication protocols
- Cross-compatibility
- Reduce the cost of keys
- Honestly, Yubico YubiKeys are great and have all the features we need
- No other criticisms - it just works!

Yubico Review
So we use the YubiKey for securing most of our cloud services, like Office 365, Microsoft 365 mainly, but also other things like password managers. And as far as the services will let us, we try to use mainly the Yubikeys for the physical security tokens and trying to use them for passwordless access to avoid the risks of password theft.
- The setup is very easy. It's well documented and it's well supported with most services.
- The backup situation is a hard problem to solve, but it needs to be resolved sooner or later because as it is now, if you have two Yubikeys, you have to enroll them both. When you lose one, you have to remember which one to deactivate and that's a hassle. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often. But having a backup Yubikey that you don't have to enroll everywhere but they can switch over to would be a dream.

Yubico YubiKeys Works!
We use it for our MFA with OKTA
- Quick
- Easy to set up
- Small profile
- My USB-a nano broke pretty easily
- Lower profile USBc
May 23, 2024
YubiKey - a great part of our MFA solution.
When our company started implementing MFA, we needed to use our mobile phones to confirm our second factor. Yes, it worked, but it was a hassle getting your phone out of your pocket, especially if you were seated. Then we purchased some Yubikeys. It was so convenient to set it up and just touch the Yubikey for your second factor. Leveraging the long touch was also very helpful to reduce the accident activations.
- Providing a second factor authentication.
- Yubikey has two slots so it can be configured for two environments.
- Long touch reduces accidental activation.
- It would be nice to have a cover to prevent accident activation.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
We're using it to streamline user authentication. We're currently using it for application security, but we're looking to enable it for desktop login as well. And that's our biggest use case right now is streamlining our logins to our systems.
- It streamlines the login process where in past with multifactor authentication, each phase took up to 30 seconds. Adding quite a bit of time to the user experience, we're able to reduce that to less than a second.
- So interestingly, with the nano devices that tend to stay in the computers, users are always accidentally hitting it and it will just pop up a random text string in whatever they're working on. So a way to add an easier way to add a delay into the device. Recognizing a touch.

Yubico Review
There are various use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for. All of our authentication to the Fido server is through Yubico YubiKeys, and we also use it for the VPN right now. A lot of my teammates are using it for the Linux authentication tool, and we also store digital certificates, so we use it for PKI. So there are a lot of use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for.
- I think the best thing is it has a lot of capacity and it's very, very secure. It can store a lot of private keys versus all the other products. We have reviewed a few other products, but Yubico YubiKeys gives a lot more capabilities than some of the other security key brands.
- I think the only thing that I feel is the capability to store more keys on it, and it's a bit expensive compared to the other security manufacturers. So if we really have to sell it to our customers, they're not very comfortable paying for the high price, but then you're paying for more features.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
The primary problem it solves is the non-repudiation. So knowing that the person logging in is the person who has the key and it's our employee. So the use case is things like there's none other MFAs that you rely on cell phones or QR codes that can be shared. A physical key cannot be shared.
- It's fast speed. You don't have any help. Pull out a phone and load a code or pull out a phone and do, yes, this is me. It's like plug it in, pop and acknowledge the MFA request.
- I think the supply chain of getting them is probably the biggest challenge. So getting them out to use in a decentralized workforce. So having to go through Amazon or some other reseller and load addresses and try and get them out to employees as a part of our onboarding process.

It's what you have
- It's authentication
- Not everybody accepts it. That's the only cons. It's not everywhere. It's not everywhere yet.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
We use it for a second factor in authentication for logging into stuff.
- It's very, very cost effective and is quite reliable.
- I can't think of any. They're nice and small too. I kind of like that. I don't take up space on the laptop really.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
I can talk more about it in my personal capacity. So I use it to secure all of my own personal services, Google, social media, government, login services, basically anything that supports two FA and supports a hardware token, I'll use that over OTP, SMS, or anything is just simply the most secure solution I have found. I've always heard of people getting, "oh, my account's been hacked, my things, my account's being drained." I don't have this problem because I use hardware security module.
- It's very easy to use. So I use the USBC and NFC one, so not only can I either insert it into a USB-C port, which the new iPhone 15 or iPad has, but you can also just tap it using NFC. So it's really easy across the broad range of devices to authenticate.
- The only con is hardware based, so if it's in the other room you might have to get off the sofa to go get it. But aside from that, I mean I think that trade off is worth the security provides.

Yubico YubiKeys is the way to go
We use Yubico YubiKeys to protect access to key devices as well as provide MFA for online resources.
- Online MFA
- Laptop access
- Mobile Apps MFA
- I would like to have more USB options
May 09, 2024
Easy to adopt product.
We use it mostly for our MFA. It helps enforce MFA more easily without having to pick up my phone for an OTP.
- Easy and lightweight, very quick to output needed keys.
- Reliable and always functional.
- It would be nice if it had an OTP feature.
- The nano is nice but too easy to hit and accidentally send passcodes.
May 09, 2024
Highly security and effective.
We evaluated its use for employee authentication and conducted proof-of-concept with a small number of users. Most users preferred the current 2FA with the RSA key. However, Yubikey presents distribution challenges compared to a soft token that could be sent electronically to users. Also, we ran into challenges when end-users would lose their Yubikey, requiring a new key to be distributed and the old key revoked.
- Highly secure storage of credentials.
- Portability of credentials to any device.
- Multi-factor, biometrics authentication.
- Doesn't work with USB-C.
- Improved mobile device support.
- Cost point could be lower.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
I've used a YubiKey 5 for several years for a 2nd factor authentication method to log into our VPN as well as adding it to many of my personal accounts. I've appreciated that it offers multiple authentication methods for different platforms both for work and personal accounts.
- It makes logging in with a second factor very convenient
- I like the small form factor making it easy to carry around
- The different authentication profiles it provides makes it nice for personal and business use
- It would be nice if the new biometric readers also offered all the same features as the older Yubico YubiKeys 5. Having everything in one.
May 09, 2024
Yubi key.
Use it to authenticate to Okta and other security settings that require 2fa.
- Easy to install.
- Integrates well.
- No OTP code support.
May 08, 2024
Hardware security keys are secure and convenient
Yubico YubiKeys are used a secure form of MFA for our internal tools and also for my personal use. As a SaaS company, we also support the use of Yubico YubiKeys as a form of 2FA through either the OTP or WebAuthn protocols. We always recommend that our customers set up some form of 2FA, with the hardware keys being considered the most secure.
- Quick to install
- Reliable activation
- Many options of form factors
- Management software is confusing
- Limited room for passkeys (25) at time of writing

Yubico YubiKeys are great!
I use my Yubico YubiKeys to secure my admin accounts. I have top-level admin rights for multiple Google accounts that I manage in the organization. The Yubico YubiKeys helps me secure those rights so that they don't get taken from me. I am one of two Yubico YubiKeys users in my organization.
- easy to use
- has multiple partners that accept the key as a security option
- compatibility with Instagram or other social media services

Yubico YubiKeys
we are in the evaluation phase for any kind of passkey solutions. We have had great user experience and better security for the trails. We are understanding the keys in the post quantum cryptography world.
- user sign up process is easy
- can be easily be used with browser phones etc
- security research
May 08, 2024
Yay Yubico YubiKeys!
I use Yubico YubiKeys to securely connect to many of my important accounts using MFA. It allows me to quickly and securely connect to my accounts instead of having to receive a push SMS notification which I do not think is very secure and it keeps me from having to log into an app on my phone to just to get into an important system.
- Speed of authentication
- Enhanced security in authentication
- Availability of different systems it connect to
- Need more systems that will allow me to use my Yubico YubiKeys
- A better way to connect the hardware MFA factor with my phone authentication app
May 08, 2024
Yubico YubiKeys are essential.
We use Yubico YubiKeys to secure not only our endpoints, but also all of our most critical assets. They are the best combination of ease of use, and secure MFA that I have seen. They are also easy and affordable to deploy at scale.
- MFA
- Ease of use
- Ease of setup
- They are crazy easy to lose! (So small)

Yubico YubiKeys gives peice of mind in the cloud
We use Yubico YubiKeys to protect critical root accounts in our AWS org. It is not necessary to use the account and having Yubico YubiKeys ensures only those with appropriate needs have access to the acocunt.
- Quick mfa
- Portability
- Reliability
- Local device auth leaves some to be desired

Yubico YubiKeys Provide Security Without Complexity
I've been a fan of Yubico YubiKeys for years now. I started out using them on a personal level for MFA with LastPass, and today we use them for practically everything at the office. They work great as a smart card replacement for login to Windows using their PIV functionality, and now they make up one of the most secure ways to access Microsoft 365 as a security key. Their flexibility and physical reliability are unmatched for a device of their kind. We once had someone's dog swallow a YubiKey by accident, and, believe it or not, after washing it off once it came out the other end, it was still functional. If that doesn't speak to how indestructible they are, I don't know what would.
- Works great as a smart card for logging on to Windows
- Works great as a Security Key for secure logon to Microsoft 365
- Practically indestructible
- They need a few more designs on their Yubistyle Skinz to allow for more personalization
- Honestly, I can't think of any other issues I've seen

I love YubiKeys for ease and security
Whenever I log into a new computer, I value and appreciate my Yubico YubiKeys as a deep security layer to our company's protocol. The physical key is solid and is, what I feel, indestructible since I carry it on my key chain and it always works. I feel it's best method available to prevent hacking and unauthorized access to my business.
- Sturdy and reliable - even though the key is jumbled in my pocket for years, it works every time.
- Super secure - it's the safest way I know to prevent hacking
- Super easy to use. Once it's set up, I just press my finger print on it, and I'm in!
- A better way to validate a back-up, in the event I lose the device
- a near field blue-tooth could be a nice addition (without compromising security)
- Smaller connector make it compatible with USB-C
