The Diver and the YubiKey

If you are driving on highway 101 between Palo Alto and San Francisco in the coming couple of weeks, you may come across a billboard with a diver holding up a YubiKey. The same diver also appears on our website homepage. The photo was shot by Alessio, principal engineer at Yubico, from his adventure under 20 meters of water in the Philippines.

The same image inspired Josh, web developer at Yubico, to try logging into his email underwater with a waterproof phone and YubiKey. And yes, it worked! Please check out the short video below that Josh and other members of our team just created.

At Yubico, we highly regard our adventurous and multi-talented engineers. Last year, we doubled our engineering team in Stockholm, Palo Alto and Seattle. This year we are doubling again. If you are a software or hardware engineer who wants to make the internet safer for everyone – on land or underwater – we welcome you to apply for our open job positions!
