As more devices leverage USB-C, we’re happy to share that our Security Key Series is expanding to meet this need. Built with the trademark Yubico security and quality that you’ve grown to love, the blue Security Key C NFC is the latest key to join our Security Key Series.
Available for purchase today for $29 (€29), this security key offers FIDO-only support in a USB-C form factor with NFC capabilities. It provides enhanced, modern security for applications, services, and user accounts for both desktop and mobile authentication. For customers looking for a USB-A form factor, we’ve got you covered! You can purchase the Security Key NFC here for $25 (€25).
To learn more about the Security Key C NFC, please join us in our conversation with Twitter tomorrow (10/27) at 11:30 a.m. PT on Twitter Spaces from your Twitter app on your phone. During this chat, you’ll hear from Steve Butsch, Sr. Solutions Engineer at Yubico and three Twitter employees who will chat about the benefits of using a hardware security key, like a YubiKey or the Security Key C NFC, to secure both business and personal accounts. Furthermore, how YubiEnteprise Services and YubiEnterprise Delivery helped Twitter deliver YubiKeys to employees both remotely and in-office, how to leverage security keys as a 2FA option for your Twitter account, and more.
Both devices in the Security Key Series support FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn, which is based on the Yubico invention of enabling one single authenticator to work across any number of applications. There are many forms of MFA, but not all are created equal. FIDO-based authentication is the only method proven to protect against phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
