How the YubiKey helps

The YubiKey hardware-based strong authentication secures customer financial data and privacy, while accelerating retail business productivity.

Meet Compliance Mandates and Protect Customer Privacy
Yubico enables strong verification of users before providing access to sensitive data, keeping retail organizations compliant with existing and emerging regulations such as PCI, PII, GDPR, PSD2.

Rapid and Secure Login to Shared Workstations
By enabling passwordless secure login to computers and retail POS outlets, with a simple tap-and-go experience, Yubico enables organizations and their employees to stay secure and productive on a daily basis as well as during specific retail peaks such as during the holidays, back-to-school, and other annual promotions.

Enable Secure and Efficient Online and Mobile Workflows
With Yubico, retail organizations can enable employees to use mobile devices to securely gain access to sensitive data, check inventory, place orders, and bring the checkout line to the customer, delivering a fast and easy experience. And consumers can securely log into a retail site via a web browser or a mobile application using YubiKey strong authentication, protecting their sensitive data and privacy.

Future-Proof Security Across Legacy and Modern Environments
Yubico delivers a multi-protocol solution that enables retail organizations to secure their legacy environment while moving towards modern authentication. And, by drastically reducing password reset- or account lockout-based calls to the IT helpdesk, the organization also experiences strong security ROI due to reduced number of support incidents.
