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

Yubico YubiKeys are an essential part of our logins. When hired, every employee in my business unit receives a YubiKey 5c Nano along with their laptop. Since we are a hybrid workforce and many of us work from home, this allows us to log in with phishing-resistant MFA to all of our SaaS applications that are protected by Duo. Since WebAuthn is the standard from the start, this ensures that the highest level of protection is enforced from an authentication perspective. This has solved the issue of wondering whether or not users are logging in securely from disparate locations. It is also easy for users to authenticate with the tap of a finger to access critical applications - even in a Passwordless workflow!

It has greatly reduced the likelihood of successful phishing attacks, makes MFA easier for end users (better experience equals users will comply with security controls), and helps secure applications by providing out-of-the-box compatibility with modern web browsers. Our overall risk exposure and attack surface have diminished to allow secure authentications from anywhere in the world.

Whether it is WebAuthn or OTP, Yubico YubiKeys allows a single tap of a button to use MFA. With WebAuthn, this has changed the game as we also have a Passwordless authentication workflow and, with the use of FIDO2-compliant YubiKeys, makes the fastest and most secure login experience possible for our users.
