Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

Primary use case is logging in that is authentication and we use for multiple products. One is logging into the machine. The other things we use is the based off of the roles and the responsibilities. We have various apps that require additional authentication after opening the laptop, the server, and that's where we use YubiKey and it's integrated with backend, author and off.
  • Primarily it's very convenient to use. Then also it assures when we open the machine, the authentication is on when we open the machines, which I refer to laptop, that's a very primary use case for us and that has been consistent along.
  • It requires a little bit of setup. I think that's where we had a little additional resources spent on it to integrate our current ortho dot with the YubiKey. When we bring in and the newer models, when we bring in, there's a little more maintenance that we need to do on and off every time. So that's something I request to look into to make it more easier.
  • Many areas in the company, in the open source projects as well, we have used the YubiKey to basic authentication that work seamlessly across whether technical resources or non-technical resources. It has been wonderful for us and that's where we find is the best value for the ROI. And also it has enhanced our security and the recurring maintenance on the logging in forgetting credentials or the attacks on known passwords. So those are all the things became very less or negligible, which is a lot of saving of resources for the company.
Many of those primarily the authentication, especially non-tech and support and help desk area where it's more vulnerable for X and that's where we see the highest value.
This is a one wonderful use case where we provide solution to our consumers and if we have provided the YubiKey for them with the right certificates and authentication, so that takes away the maintenance of those by the consumer, so which is a very convenient way for us in that implementation, which also gives a little bit happy at the consumer level too.
We actually were approach it to try it on and then we fell in love

Server authentications is where we don't see much of a use case. So far my primary role and also the use cases I have seen so far is using the laptop and authenticating the apps in the laptop. So those are the two major use cases I have seen. But this can be expanded to servers as well because I'm not in the infrastructure area, so I do not know whether you have it or not. But that's one thing I feel like you can look into expanding
