Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

We evaluated its use for employee authentication and conducted proof-of-concept with a small number of users. Most users preferred the current 2FA with the RSA key. However, Yubikey presents distribution challenges compared to a soft token that could be sent electronically to users. Also, we ran into challenges when end-users would lose their Yubikey, requiring a new key to be distributed and the old key revoked.
  • Highly secure storage of credentials.
  • Portability of credentials to any device.
  • Multi-factor, biometrics authentication.
  • Doesn't work with USB-C.
  • Improved mobile device support.
  • Cost point could be lower.
  • Highly secure.
  • Portable.
  • Easy to use.
  • Distribution cost is high.
  • Recovery cost from lost keys is high.
  • Lower risk from compromised end-user accounts.
We have only done a proof-of-concept that has worked well. However, the distribution challenges make a significant distribution expensive.
Positive user feedback, but difficult when the key is lost.

It is great for secure authentication for workers who physically come into the office and can pick up a physical key. Distribution is a significant challenge for remote workers; ideally, a soft token approach similar to competitors would be helpful to deal with this challenge. Also, escrow of keys so that credentials can move to a new key when the key is lost.
