Troubleshooting

Not connected to the USB Port
If your YubiKey does not appear to work, double check that it shines with a steady green light when inserted. If the YubiKey is inserted up-side down it will not work.

The touch-button does not work
You do not need to press hard, just rest your finger tip for half a second on the surface inside the shining ring. It will not work if you are wearing gloves or using a pen or other device to press.
