No I have one personally, I use it to secure access to my accounts including GitHub and email. it's a good tool and offers peace of mind. That there is no way for someone to access my account without the key. I'd recommend to others in org to get the product
Pros
Security
Looks good
Attaches to key ring
Cons
More colours
More integrations
Find my yubikey via bluetooth
Likelihood to Recommend
Access to secure assets like GitHub and AWS it's particular good in these scenarios, and I'd recommend it to anyone using these tools, particularly with elevated access. To be honest it's also fine for the average user too, in a security conscious company. It's less good for mobile access to products.
We use Yubico YubiKeys both personally and professionally as a second factor for authentication to Git Hub, Git Lab, and other mission-critical cloud services.
Pros
Touch to authenticate
Every day carry
Cons
The form factor is too small to remove from a port comfortably
Integration with VPN could be better-- login requires user, password for step one, then password + Yubikey for step two. Why make me enter the password twice?
Likelihood to Recommend
Seems suited for workplace MFA. Would be nice to integrate with other identity verification schemes.
Love the product, the only thing I can ask is if there is a smaller profile key (in-between the Nano and NFC) so that they don't break as often. Love the integration with Okta!
Pros
The size of the key
Cons
Making the NFC keys smaller to allow them not to break that easily
Likelihood to Recommend
I've used your Security keys for over 5 years for personal and Corp engagement and implementation. Love the service, the easy config and bulk provisioning.
We evaluated its use for employee authentication and conducted proof-of-concept with a small number of users. Most users preferred the current 2FA with the RSA key. However, Yubikey presents distribution challenges compared to a soft token that could be sent electronically to users. Also, we ran into challenges when end-users would lose their Yubikey, requiring a new key to be distributed and the old key revoked.
Pros
Highly secure storage of credentials.
Portability of credentials to any device.
Multi-factor, biometrics authentication.
Cons
Doesn't work with USB-C.
Improved mobile device support.
Cost point could be lower.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for secure authentication for workers who physically come into the office and can pick up a physical key. Distribution is a significant challenge for remote workers; ideally, a soft token approach similar to competitors would be helpful to deal with this challenge. Also, escrow of keys so that credentials can move to a new key when the key is lost.
Use my Yubico YubiKeys for 2FA during the login to enterprise SSO.
Pros
Reliable
Good size and compatibility
Cons
Not sure it is a Yubico YubiKeys problem, but mobile browsers do not always prompt for a PIN code, which is a bit scary
Likelihood to Recommend
If a service supports security keys, I always enable it and enroll my Yubico YubiKeys. On the other hand, I prefer passkeys if they are supported and allowed, which is the case for our enterprise SSO. However, even in this case, I use Yubico YubiKeys for new platforms / browsers or as a backup.
To authenticate to things like Okta, Entra ID in multiple regions, as well as OTP to OpenVPN both with yubicloud and greenradius
Pros
Simple and complex OTP
FIDO2 auth with major browsers
Cons
End user instruction/videos for HOW to use Yubico YubiKeys and what each function actually does.
Likelihood to Recommend
Anywhere MFA is use Yubico YubiKeys are well suited, assuming the mechanism can handle it. Less appropriate are really just legacy type systems that don’t even allow MFA implementation at all.
