Yubico Yubikeys are used for laptop authentication, password manager, 2FA, Google Domain 2FA, and Personal Encrypted Containers.
  • One-time use passwords
  • 2 Factor Authentication
  • Complex Password and device remembered
  • The Nano is still working after 12 years
  • After so long, full-sized Yubico YubiKeys are getting flaky and the button won't always work
Yubico YubiKeys are durable, lightweight, easy to use, support several authentication protocols, and have an enterprise management option.
  • Simple and easy to carry
  • Enterprise management features
  • Durable and long-lasting
  • Bought once, back in 2011 or 2012 and still using the device.
  • Works with whatever device or service I needed it to.
It's used mostly for 2FA together with LastPass to encourage employees to use stronger passwords.
As soon as our corporate use of Google for Business began requiring MFA, employees were using their own money or office budgets to buy Yubico Yubikeys.
Much less annoying to work with than the authenticator app on smartphones that requires retyping 6 digits.
Yes
Fingerprint reader.
TOTP key fob with LCD screen (can't remember product name.)
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
It's easy to use and easy to deploy in an enterprise environment. It can be combined with other OTP or MFA protocols in cloud systems.
Get the corporate VP of operations on board with the purchasing decision.
One-touch generation of OTP or MFA token.
  • One-touch or long-touch to generate two different kinds of passcodes
  • Inserting into a USB-A device into a USB port after USB-C became the new laptop standard.
Yes, but I don't use it

With the implementation of multi-factor authentication (or two-factor authentication or MFA or 2FA) at the university, we were given a huge toolset to utilize in "second factoring." We were able to use Yubikeys, text and phone calls, and push notifications via DUO, and pre-arranged codes (for when internet is not available). Eventually we discontinued the telephony aspect but kept Yubikeys. They are a strong tool that is nearly impossible to defeat.
  • Product Support
  • Authentication
  • Mobility
  • Ease of use
  • First time setup
For an advanced user, Yubikeys are powerful and easy to utilize once setup. However, I believe a lay-user is able to better benefit from less intense tools such as our 2FA's native app push notifications. Yubikeys provide a strong 2nd layer of security to systems that require 2 factor, and for lay users, this might be overkill.
  • Strength
  • Strength of authentication
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.
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.
