Considered Both Products
Yubico YubiKeys
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
It's annoying to type in a OTP from an RSA token. Being able to simply touch the YubiKey is better.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys seem more convenient. cryptocard might be slightly more secure because a pin or challenge is needed on each access.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yucky 2 factor authorization was easier to use
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Don't need to use personal devices
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
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 …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys is slightly different than Duo but I do like that it's quick and easy. Our users like that they don't have to use personal phones.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Better solution and easy of use
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Different products. Hard to compare. I use both.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
When using HOTP Duo MFA fobs, the YubiKeys are much better because they are lighter weight, more durable, and easy to take everywhere.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys make login seamless for our users compared to having to sync auth tokens between phones.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
We used authenticator apps which aren't as quick.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
We would prefer to use Yubico and remove Okta.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Does not typically meet all compliance requirements, and is antiquated.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
More robust security, phishing resistant, easier than typing in a code from the app
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Honestly, Yubico YubiKeys is the only brand that comes to mind when I think of security keys.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys are the only product of it's type I have tried. I have been following Yubico YubiKeys since they were first created, and always really liked their product. I have one of the first Yubico YubiKeys on my keychain for many years now, and it still works perfectly. …
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 …
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 …

Yubico
For us high value targets that have sensitive access, it just makes sense to use Yubico YubiKeys. We feel comfortable with the solution and hardware. It’s super easy for everyone to use. They say the feel important having to use it like a spy sometimes. For our everyday user we have not deployed currently and are still trying to decide if it’s right for them due to the fact that we have many pieces of hardware lost with just their access entry NFC devices.

Pros
Yubico
  • Provides additional factors for authenticating against critical systems.

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.

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.

  • 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.
