Multi-protocol USB-based hardware security key

Overview

Ultra-secure hardware authentication key

Simple to use and ultra-secure, the Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC multi-protocol security key paves the way for a password-free future. The YubiKey 5 NFC offers strong authentication with support for multiple protocols, including smart card authentication and WebAuthn/FIDO2, the new standard for password-free authentication. With the YubiKey 5 NFC, security is enhanced by strong authentication hardware based on public/private key cryptography. In addition, YubiKey is easy to use, fast and reliable and has been proven on a large scale to dramatically reduce IT support costs and eliminate account hacking.

Easy to use, fast and reliable

Users don't need to install anything and can use YubiKey in minutes. And the YubiKey doesn't require batteries or network connectivity, so it's always on and accessible. The IT department can deploy YubiKeys in days, not months. A single key, with its flexible multi-protocol capabilities, can work natively with hundreds of systems. This eliminates the need for costly integrations or separate devices for each system.

  • Supported authentication and cryptographic protocols include FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F), WebAuthn/FIDO2, Personal Identity Verification-compatible (PIV) smart card and OpenPGP smart card.
  • Runs on all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and Linux, as well as all major browsers.
  • Available in several versions that allow users to connect via USB, NFC or Lightning.

Different authentication options

Relying solely on usernames and passwords puts corporate data at risk. Catastrophic security breaches make global headlines every day. Adopting stronger authentication for employees and customers is essential to minimise the risk of becoming the next victim.

  • Replace weak passwords with a secure "tap-n-go" login
  • Password + YubiKey: adds a "tap-n-go" factor for secure two-variable authentication
  • Multi-Factor: passwordless + PIN: Combines tap-n-go authentication with a PIN, to solve high assurance needs such as financial transactions or prescription submission

    Complicated safety

    Configuring and using this key without a good command of English is complicated (the video on the French page is in English!).

    Perfect

    Works perfectly for opening Ubuntu sessions and securing access to various websites offering services I need. The only criticism is that there isn't enough adoption of these hardware keys at the moment.

    It's important to buy a second one for backup.

    Excellent product

    When I bought this product, I was afraid that it would be complicated to set up and/or use but it turns out that it is very easy. In about 20 minutes, it was set up on all my accounts (bank, email, password manager, ...). Very happy with my purchase
