    Together, Yubico and Okta deliver quick, strong and scalable phishing-resistant authentication solutions

    Create intelligent policies that adapt the level of identity assurance all the way up to hardware-based authentication for stronger levels of protection.

    No matter the device, user or login context, Okta Adaptive MFA and YubiKey together deliver a more reliable, compatible, and modern approach to strong authentication.


    Passwordless phishing-resistant authentication

    with Yubico FIDO Pre-reg

    According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report,  68% of breaches are caused by stolen credentials. Passwords are inherently weak and can be easily stolen and basic 2FA passwords alone are not enough to secure your data. Organizations need an easy to adopt, scalable and proven solution, as many have more stringent requirements to prove satisfactory security protection to external audiences.

    Combining the might of Okta’s Adaptive MFA with Yubico’s range of YubiKeys provides a strength-in-depth approach to authentication that enterprises can count on. With security only being as strong as its weakest link, even the most stringent security measures would not be effective if users refuse to adopt it.

    Yubico FIDO Pre-reg delivers a secure and seamless phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless experience on day one. With a turnkey YubiKey FIDO activation experience, organizations and their users can raise the bar for security and stop account takeovers and ransomware threats in their tracks.

    Secure today, future proof for tomorrow

    Moving to a passwordless and phishing-resistant future is a journey, not an overnight transition. Most organizations have IT systems that will continue to require support for legacy authentication protocols for some time. However with the YubiKey 5 series that combines the range of old and modern authentication protocols on the same key, it is now possible to move towards a brighter future in steps. And this approach aligns well with the recent White House Executive Order.
