Considered Both Products	Yubico YubiKeys Verified User Director Chose Yubico YubiKeys Unliking rotating cyperkeys (RSA tokens), YubiKeys doesn't rely on additional hardware other than the key itself. They are less expensive and much easier to manage within the organization. Granted, they won't provide the same verification as an RSA token, but they do add the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Yubico YubiKeys Yubico YubiKeys are way better than those old RNG tokens where you have to type in the number. The YubiKey enters the number for you and often can be used in other modes that don't require number entry at all. It is modern and convenient. I prefer authenticator apps like Google … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Yubico YubiKeys Duo and Yubico YubiKeys actually work very well together. We have chosen to use these two products together to make safe and secure MFA (including Passwordless) available to all users. The ease of use that Duo allows for both OTP import and WebAuthn enrollment makes it possible … Incentivized Helpful? JR Justin Ruddy Information Technology Specialist 60 Chose Yubico YubiKeys Broader adoption and support, more product options, and better compliance with standards and regulations. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Yubico YubiKeys Other options are not phishing resistant. SMS is outdated, too susceptible to SIM swapping and other attacks and should never be used. Incentivized Helpful? Russell Licht Senior Operations Engineer Chose Yubico YubiKeys Much less annoying to work with than the authenticator app on smartphones that requires retyping 6 digits. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Yubico YubiKeys YubiKeys are simple, easy to use and fast. They are portable and require minimal effort to be secure. Incentivized Helpful? ST Scott Trulock President Chose Yubico YubiKeys Far more secure to have a physical key than an app. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Yubico YubiKeys Yubikeys are considerably faster than utilizing authentication apps. Even better they can be used in addition to other 2FA implementations. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose Yubico YubiKeys Yubico YubiKeys are a nice addition to a TOTP like GA. Since they are not battery based, they are incredibly reliable and always available, even if you've dropped your phone into the toilet. The only downside relative to TOTP is that some devices may not have the appropriate … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Yubico YubiKeys Significantly more secure than the phone based authenticators with a bit more overhead to implement successfully. The cost difference between something like Duo and Yubikeys is quite significant if you're operating without a FAANG type budget. We're fans of the touch "button" … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Yubico YubiKeys Yubico by far is best security tool to optimize security and user experience. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose Yubico YubiKeys I didn't evaluate anyone else - is there anyone else doing good FIDO2 keys? Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose Yubico YubiKeys We used SecureAuth for a year or two but just the 2FA bit - it didn't help with compromised passwords to non-2FA'd apps. We now use Azure AD and MEM, which utilises MFA and integrate with most SSO apps. Incentivized Helpful? DB Dave Brown Computer and Information Systems Manager Chose Yubico YubiKeys I liked the Kensington Verimark fingerprint scanner initially because it made signing into Windows simple and secured it within the household, but didn't like the additional complexities of setting it up and needing a driver. That would have required the IT support team to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Yubico YubiKeys Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator are both consumer (and commercial) grade products so they are expected to be easy to use. When you move to a more advanced product such as Yubico, there's a reason why you are not using the "easier" methods. The reasons may … Incentivized Helpful? Chandan Singh Rathore Senior Technical Consultant Chose Yubico YubiKeys Google Authenticator has very limited features available where Yubico can suffice all the authentication method requirements and can be installed on-premises as well. It can completely replace the Google Authenticator. Yubico has hardware based authentication as well apart from … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Yubico YubiKeys RSA token is another option used by many organizations. I think there is a definite benefit to soft tokens, but there's an inherent problem with them as well. If you have to reset your phone, you lose the ability to use that soft token until you set it up again, thus making … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Yubico YubiKeys Hardware-based authentication is much better than software-based because it cannot be forged. Also, users lose their software authenticators when they move to a new phone. Yubikey always works, does not need a battery, and is built around safety. The protocol is well defined … Incentivized Helpful? Leah Jakaitis Senior Data Analyst Chose Yubico YubiKeys I haven't used any other physical security devices previously.

User Testimonials
	Yubico YubiKeys
Likelihood to Recommend	Yubico YubiKeys are incredibly effective for protecting against phishing attacks, as they require physical interaction and can't be remotely compromised. They're ideal for safeguarding high-value targets (executives, IT admins, those handling sensitive data), enhancing remote access security, and often help meet industry compliance regulations. However, the initial hardware cost may be a concern for large-scale deployments with many low-risk users. Users prone to losing small items or scenarios involving older, incompatible systems might pose logistical challenges. Nonetheless, YubiKeys remain robust when addressing phishing-based attacks and securing privileged accounts. Consider a targeted rollout balancing security gain against potential hardware costs and user needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Yubico 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. Incentivized Chris Cowherd CTO Read full review
Cons	Yubico 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. Incentivized DB Dave Brown Computer and Information Systems Manager Read full review
Usability	Yubico 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Yubico Duo and Yubico YubiKeys actually work very well together. We have chosen to use these two products together to make safe and secure MFA (including Passwordless) available to all users. The ease of use that Duo allows for both OTP import and WebAuthn enrollment makes it possible for modern and legacy applications to be protected by Duo MFA via Yubico YubiKeys as the second factor.
