Yubico YubiKeys Review
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 physical layer security for a much reduced cost and management process.

MFA on Your Keyring
- RSA Access Manager (Discontinued) and Google Authenticator
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 and Microsoft.

Fast and Secure Way to MFA - and Password-less, Too!
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.

Review of Yubico YubiKeys as an MFA Solution
Broader adoption and support, more product options, and better compliance with standards and regulations.
February 02, 2024
Love Yubico YubiKeys!
Other options are not phishing resistant.
SMS is outdated, too susceptible to SIM swapping and other attacks and should never be used.
Authenticator App based MFA is more secure, but still susceptible to MITM and phishing.
Hardware security keys like the Yubico YubiKeys provided the needed protections that most other methods do not provide.

Yubico YubiKeys: Lightweight, Durable, Easy to Use
Much less annoying to work with than the authenticator app on smartphones that requires retyping 6 digits.
January 26, 2024
I love YubiKeys for ease and security
YubiKeys are simple, easy to use and fast. They are portable and require minimal effort to be secure.
January 25, 2024
Yubico YubiKeys are a solid, secure choice for MFA
Far more secure to have a physical key than an app.

Yubico YubiKeys Review
January 17, 2024
Want true login security for your network?
Yubikeys are considerably faster than utilizing authentication apps. Even better they can be used in addition to other 2FA implementations.

These Are the BEST
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 interface for your Yubico YubiKeys.

Yubico Yubikeys Get the Job Done
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" on the key making it near impervious to hacking even if left in the USB slot.

Yubico secures the enterprise
Yubico by far is best security tool to optimize security and user experience.

Faster. Easier. Cheaper. More secure. What's not to love?
I didn't evaluate anyone else - is there anyone else doing good FIDO2 keys?
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.
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 remote in and install it on all users which I feel was a cost that did not need to be borne with the YubiKey options.

Yubico's Yubikey, More security at cost of complexity
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 include, more security requirements, or because you enjoy being a tech-master. Yubikey and Yubico are apples to oranges comparison with these aforementioned apps.
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 TOTP/HOTP etc.. Because in some companies, Google/mobile is not allowed for so in those scenarios as well Yubico can easily fit in and can provide the secure authentication.
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 self service difficult if you can't log in. Having a physical token when considering a remote workforce is easier to self serve. But there's also the aspect that it's harder to manage a physical token for a remote workforce since it's physical. Definite pros and cons.

Hardware-based password-less authentication
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 and supports multiple standards.

Excellent 2FA and security key
I haven't used any other physical security devices previously. YubiKey and other tech giants like Google, Cisco, and RSA all offer some form of physical/hardware-based security, which is implemented at many workplaces. Yubico was selected for its comprehensive documentation, reputation of excellence, and reliability within the security community itself.
