Yubico YubiKeys Provide Security Without Complexity

I've been a fan of Yubico YubiKeys for years now. I started out using them on a personal level for MFA with LastPass, and today we use them for practically everything at the office. They work great as a smart card replacement for login to Windows using their PIV functionality, and now they make up one of the most secure ways to access Microsoft 365 as a security key. Their flexibility and physical reliability are unmatched for a device of their kind. We once had someone's dog swallow a YubiKey by accident, and, believe it or not, after washing it off once it came out the other end, it was still functional. If that doesn't speak to how indestructible they are, I don't know what would.

Yubico YubiKeys have allowed us to increase our security posture and reduce our risk exposure while still keeping users' experience as simple as possible.

Our users love it, as it provides a simplified method to log in to their computers each day without having to deal with the complex password requirements that are necessary when logging in without a Yubico YubiKey. The way that we have things set up, they *can* log in without their YubiKey, however, to do so they have to remember a long complex password, and then utilize DUO for MFA. Most of them would rather drive back home and get their forgotten YubiKey than do that.
