Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

I use Yubico YubiKeys to log into our single sign-on to gain access to our sensitive systems and data. It's much easier to log in with a Yubico YubiKeys versus doing it with a password and much more, not only easier but more secure because it's physically on me versus a password that could be stolen.
  • It identifies who I am by being able to scan my fingerprint. It verifies that I am the user because it's physically on me. So it does a great job of authentication and it's very convenient in its form factor. It's very small, it can fit on my key chain.
  • Sometimes the product's just not on me, so I have to run downstairs or run to my car to get it. And then in that case, maybe using an on-device authentication, then I switch to that.
  • I think it's a positive return in terms of productivity. Signing in has become much easier. I don't have to manage passwords. So even just that little bit of password friction is now removed.
It really lowered our risk profile because we no longer have to rely so heavily on passwords and just implementing pass keys across our organization has been way better for productivity altogether and Yubico YubiKeys has been a part of that.
I think it's just a really easy way to register as a password replacement option. It's pretty intuitive and again, it's just something you can stick in your computer and it kind of runs on itself.
I prefer Yubico YubiKeys because sometimes logging in with pass keys on an iPhone you have to do kind of two handshakes. One is the QR code and then doing a face ID. So that's an extra step versus the Yubico YubiKeys, which I can just put in and scan with my finger.
