Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

Yubico YubiKeys are used a secure form of MFA for our internal tools and also for my personal use. As a SaaS company, we also support the use of Yubico YubiKeys as a form of 2FA through either the OTP or WebAuthn protocols. We always recommend that our customers set up some form of 2FA, with the hardware keys being considered the most secure.
  • Quick to install
  • Reliable activation
  • Many options of form factors
  • Management software is confusing
  • Limited room for passkeys (25) at time of writing
  • Hardware keys add a great level of security to the business for MFA
  • Using the YubiKey as a passkey for critical accounts also enables quick logins for faster productivity
Members in our organization are security focused and minded and look forward to when they are going to receive their Yubico YubiKeys from issued by our company. We're fully remote and distributed, and the Yubico YubiKeys help us remain secure, wherever we are.

Would you buy Yubico YubiKeys again?

It's great for security and ensuring that your accounts are essentially hack proof. One problem is traveling, if you leave your key in your hotel room or even back at home, you are pretty stuck. I would love to see a Yubico YubiKeys form factor that's designed to fit easily into wallets, such as a credit-card form factor.
