Cisive IDVerity vs. Yubico YubiKeys

It is great for secure authentication for workers who physically come into the office and can pick up a physical key. Distribution is a significant challenge for remote workers; ideally, a soft token approach similar to competitors would be helpful to deal with this challenge. Also, escrow of keys so that credentials can move to a new key when the key is lost.

• Provides additional factors for authenticating against critical systems.
• Significantly reduces the chance of a successful phishing attempt.
• Can function as your primary credential for passwordless authentication.
• Extremely durable - I've had the same Yubikeys in use for years.
• Cross-platform - can be used on all mainstream operating systems and mobile devices.

• I'd feel better if the key were a little more solidly built - it feels a little flimsy
• The design could also use a cap for the connection - I'm nervous having it on my key chain and users have mentioned the same concerns.
• There seems to be some cracks forming in the support for security keys which is starting to mitigate the usefulness across an entire ecosystem.

I give slightly better than average rating because of the complexity in using a Yubikey. It is not as easy as native push notifications for 2FA products, however, it provides much better strength. Rating this higher or lower would be a disservice to people reading this review. If you are in the market for a hardware 2FA tool, Yubikey will be a great asset in your toolbox.

They offer ways to store passwords or MFA support, but most need a root password. In addition, LastPass and 1Password do not have much support for MFA. This results in a lack of MFA support. For Okta, although it offers MFA and SSO, the OTP can be very annoying to have as I do not always know where my phone is placed.

deployment is simple and the complex hardware is made simple.

• We have had users tied in their YubiKey with Windows Hello for for Business providing a password less login experience. The users are happy for the ease of logging in and being part of the security team we're excited for the multi factor authentication.
