  • Ensure we extend the security to cover physical (what you have).
  • Ties into many third party OATH solutions out of the box.
  • Provides robust defense against man in the middle attacks by ensuring our encryption layers are secure.
  • Key recovery with the onboard chip requires a third party toolkit.

  • 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.
  • Yubikeys can get lost so you will need to plan for recovery.
  • Biometric Yubikeys can be finicky so you may need a backup authentication option.
  • Yubikeys can be shared or given to someone else.
  • If you use them for time-based authentication, they store a limited number of codes.

  • The easy mental model for employees to understand, "Protect it like a physical key to the office"
  • Super durable
  • The security series makes it affordable for every small company
  • Easy to use
  • Yubico YubiKeys resident keys (aka passkeys) have a crazy low limit (25).
  • Yubico YubiKeys' Bios need a slightly increased lock-out limit - Increase from 3 to 5, please.
  • Yubico YubiKeys' Bios is too expensive, and lacking in basic features. It is missing features even the security key series has but costs 4x as much. Comparing it to a series of 5 features is even worse.
  • Yubico YubiKeys' Bios needs NFC. Not sure how this would work with the power limits of NFC but it needs it. I've plugged my bio into a large variety of phones and on most, it fails to work.

  • Certificate-based authentication, in PIV/CAC smart card role
  • FIDO2 device, used with 3rd party systems which are difficult to implement cert-based authentication on
  • Reliable, long-lasting hardware token, with no batteries to replace, perpetual licensing, and simple management.
  • Looking forward to pre-provisioning, especially with Okta
  • Some type of centralized management system, some way to automate inventory management and tracking, at least at the moment of deployment

  • Works great as a smart card for logging on to Windows
  • Works great as a Security Key for secure logon to Microsoft 365
  • Practically indestructible
  • They need a few more designs on their Yubistyle Skinz to allow for more personalization
  • Honestly, I can't think of any other issues I've seen

  • Sturdy and reliable - even though the key is jumbled in my pocket for years, it works every time.
  • Super secure - it's the safest way I know to prevent hacking
  • Super easy to use. Once it's set up, I just press my finger print on it, and I'm in!
  • A better way to validate a back-up, in the event I lose the device
  • a near field blue-tooth could be a nice addition (without compromising security)
  • Smaller connector make it compatible with USB-C

  • Reliable security.
  • Low profile and easy to carry.
  • Responsive and accurate.
  • As many interfaces have transitioned from USB-A to USB-C, would be great to have a trade-in program for old keys.
  • Add additional color choices.
  • Custom branding for corporate logo.
