What is a YubiKey?

The YubiKey is a powerful security key that helps businesses protect their accounts from takeovers and phishing attacks. It offers a number of features that make it an ideal solution for two-factor authentication (2FA), including:

  • first-level safety certification (ANSSI standard): The YubiKey meets the highest security standards and offers comprehensive protection against attacks.
  • Multi-protocol support: The YubiKey supports a variety of authentication protocols, including FIDO2/WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, Smartcard and OTP, making it compatible with a wide range of applications and devices.
  • Secure passwordless authentication: The YubiKey enables secure passwordless authentication using smart card or FIDO2/WebAuthn protocols, making it much more difficult for attackers to take over accounts.
  • Compatibility: The YubiKey is compatible with Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android and Linux as well as leading browsers.
  • Flexibility: The YubiKey 5 is available in six different formats that allow users to connect via USB-A, USB-C, NFC and Lightning.
