Prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and eliminate account takeovers

Any software downloaded on a computer or phone is vulnerable to malware and hackers. Additionally, centralized servers with stored credentials can be breached. The YubiKey, containing the highest assurance device-bound passkeys, is based on hardware with the authentication secret stored on a separate secure chip built into the YubiKey, with no connection to the internet so it cannot be copied or stolen. With the YubiKey, the data is encrypted with strong public key cryptography where only the public key is stored on the server, eliminating risks.

Easy to use, fast, and reliable

Users don’t need to install anything and can use the YubiKey in minutes. And the YubiKey is reliable because it does not require a battery or network connectivity, so it’s always on and accessible.

Easy to deploy

IT can deploy YubiKeys in days, not months. A single key, through its flexible multi-protocol capabilities, can work out-of-the-box with hundreds of systems, both cloud and on-premises. This eliminates the need for costly integrations or separate devices for each system, and can support passwordless, strong two-factor and multi-factor authentication scenarios.

Trusted authentication leader

Yubico is the principal inventor of the WebAuthn/FIDO2 and FIDO U2F authentication standards adopted by the FIDO Alliance and is the first company to produce the U2F security key and a multi-protocol FIDO2 authenticator.
