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.
Okta and Yubico have made it easier than ever with Yubico FIDO Pre-reg
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.
Yubico FIDO Pre-reg is currently available for Okta customers only.
“Phishing-resistant authentication has to be secure. But it also needs to be IT and user- friendly. Okta and Yubico give customers the security and flexibility needed to protect their enterprise resources.”
Together, Okta and Yubico accelerate phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless for the enterprise with fast, out-of-the-box FIDO activation

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.
“Okta Identity Engine, coupled with YubiKeys, stops hackers in their tracks. Our customers can be confident in their security choice, which will help support and even increase their productivity with our joint phishing-resistant authentication solution.”
