Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

Reducing attack vectors where we can is important -- and Yubico YubiKeys help us do that! Mostly they're used to help access more secure accounts across all our devices. We're a small company, so there's only so much to secure right now, but we have the confidence that Yubico YubiKeys will scale right along with us!
  • One-touch authentication
  • Versatility across devices
  • Easy to Transport (like with car keys!)
  • Difficulty with Mobile Devices (if you discover you now need a USB-C YubiKey instead, for instance...)
  • Easy to Lose, Hard to Replace
  • Can I program it with more than one thing now?
  • Per-user cost
  • Versatilty
  • Defense
  • Preventing Account Takeover
  • Saving Time
  • Providing Agility
It's hard to quantify what doesn't happen, right? Still, one less thing to worry about is always useful, and I feel more secure with a hardware-based authentication solution. It's one thing that won't be easily transmitted across the globe, and these days, that's reason enough! Being able to shrug off phishing and ransomware is trivial now!
Making sure we already have the right key for the job is... tricky. If someone gets a new phone, that can mean we have to account for an entirely different key. Having a system that can grow with us is useful. Also, we've had trouble with lost Yubico YubiKeys, meaning we have to fall back to less desirable methods of authentication sometimes.
