windows hello

And you know what, this key doesn't even do the minimum, i.e. windows hello, so you won't be able to boot your pc under windows with it! it's a shame, isn't it?

        Use of Yubico NFC key

        It works very well with my Microsoft account, and I have also added a password (suggested by default by Microsoft) on top of using this key. I got it with NFC for use with my mobile phone's NFC feature.

        Does not work at BoursoBank

        The Yubico Security Key looks very good to me. I can configure it perfectly well under Linux without any additional drivers. But it doesn't work with BoursoBank. I've also tried it on a Mac without success. I don't know which of YubiKey or BoursoBank doesn't comply with the FIDO2 standard. So I returned the product.

        Solid and practical

        As a second Yubikey, the build quality is as good as ever, so you won't hesitate to leave it on a key ring, for example, without worrying about it getting damaged. On the user side, the NFC 'button' is very responsive, and the software ecosystem is fairly complete and easy to learn, whether on a phone or a PC (Linux for my part, and ykman works very well in CLI).
        Fast shipping from LDLC, as always.

        Functional, solid, lots of standards

        Just what I wanted. It's not cheap, but it's very versatile and has many applications. I was worried about leaving one with my keys (IRL), but it's pretty solid.

        Security key

        Security key for accessing different websites (dual 2FA authentication) and protecting access to a database containing my many passwords. Easy to configure and even easier to use. All you have to do is plug it into a USB port or use NFC, and validate by touching it. It's also possible to connect to a Windows machine (without a password), a TOUCH ID of sorts.
        And much more besides.
        I'm very happy with it, it's the second one I've used for BACKUP.

        Security is becoming more and more complicated, and more and more people need a security key. The Yubico key is the perfect answer.

        For a novice, it's difficult to use and configure. The information on how to use and configure the keys is very difficult to implement, because the explanations are too technical for a novice! !

        Good keys

        I am satisfied with ldlc because the price was a little cheaper than a famous site. I was delivered super quickly in a relay (the next day) with standard delivery.

        The keys allow you to save MFA on online accounts for double authentication. I wanted several so that I could have back-ups in different places as well as one near me.


        It works well, but you have to realise that these are FIDO2 keys. Some sites show support for yubikey but not fido2. So you'd have to get the more expensive keys and not these ones, which only support fido2.
        I took usb A and not usb C because it's still widely used.

        Securing Internet access

        This key makes it possible to secure access to internet accounts, adding another layer when login and password aren't enough.
        I bought 2 of them, one with NFC for the phone and this one. They also provide a backup in case you lose one.

        Good product

        Delivery was quicker than expected (overnight). However (as shown in the picture) the key connectors are not protected, perhaps you should consider protection if you always carry the key with you.

        Get the job done!

        I ordered 2 keys and they are working properly.

        However, it would have been nice to be able to use the key to open a Windows session without needing to install the Yubico app and therefore having to create a second account which will require the use of the key, unlike your classic user account.

        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.

        A very good way to secure your online accounts, personal or business.
        Native support for password-free access to your (modern) bank, and for those who don't support the FIDO protocol, the Yubico authenticator app allows you to use it as a one-time password (OTP), which I find much more convenient and secure than a smartphone app.

        Works well under Gnu/Linux

        Hello.
        Used for identification on some crypto brokers.
        This key works immediately under Gnu/Linux.
        At each touch, a new code is generated (journalctl -f)
        Used with chromium on a famous crypto broker site, it is recognized without problem.
        Used with a Debian 11.
        The application yubikey-manager-qt-1.2.4b-linux.AppImage also works and recognizes the key.
        Thank you LDLC for making these keys available so easily.
        LDLC: fast purchase/fast delivery. Always at the TOP.

        It is not compatible, does not protect the login on a windows 10 pc. It is a little better for the login under ubuntu.
        In short I do not recommend this product.
