Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

We use Yubico YubiKeys primarily for 2-factor authentication for all critical systems, including our on premises and cloud-based computing resources' password and authentication requirements, as required by our regulatory agencies. We've been a YubiKey customer for nearly a decade, and the product has worked flawlessly during the deployment. YubiKeys are bulletproof.
  • 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.
  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Ease of Use.
  • Reduces risk of password compromise, reducing intrusion profile.
  • Simple operation eliminates download and maintenance of mobile app-based OTP systems.
  • Overall strong ROI as reduced business risk profile.
Zero known incidences of security breaches from electronic systems during and since deployment.
Users like the Yubico YubiKeys - they are simple to use and require nearly zero training.
Far more secure to have a physical key than an app.
