Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

We're using it to streamline user authentication. We're currently using it for application security, but we're looking to enable it for desktop login as well. And that's our biggest use case right now is streamlining our logins to our systems.
  • It streamlines the login process where in past with multifactor authentication, each phase took up to 30 seconds. Adding quite a bit of time to the user experience, we're able to reduce that to less than a second.
  • So interestingly, with the nano devices that tend to stay in the computers, users are always accidentally hitting it and it will just pop up a random text string in whatever they're working on. So a way to add an easier way to add a delay into the device. Recognizing a touch.
  • I think it's the flexibility in being able to let users pick the type of authentications that they want to use. Some are comfortable with the touch device on the physical Yubico YubiKeys. Others prefer the mobile app. So it provides flexibility for our users to choose how they want to authenticate without running a file of our security requirements.
It's been especially helpful with our Okta integration. We're fronting that in front of our key applications and the Yubico YubiKeys is a really easy way to add yet another authentication factor to what we already have.
User adoption is high. It's one of the most streamlined adoptions that we've experienced. Again, the premise behind the devices are incredibly simple. Users tend to adopt it quickly, easily, it's one of the few security mechanisms we put in place that's actually reduce friction as opposed to adding friction.
