How it works
The PasswordSafe software uses the YubiKey Challenge-Response as part of its password database unlock logic; part of the unlock key is created from the response created by passing a random challenge through the YubiKey. Having 2 YubiKeys with identical challenge-response credentials provides you with the critical backup should the primary YubiKey be lost or stolen.
Where it can be used
The Password Safe YubiKey is specially configured to work out of the box with Password Safe and other applications based on challenge-response.
