Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys
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
- 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.
