Product Overview

When you use a YubiKey with your Microsoft account, you get immediate access at the touch of a button. You never need a password because your YubiKey becomes your key to unlock your account. Simply register your YubiKey with your Microsoft account under the security settings (make sure you register multiple keys so you have backups in a safe place in case of forgotten or misplaced primary keys), and the next time you go to log in, you’ll insert your YubiKey into the USB port, or tap it against your mobile phone. For added security, you can protect your YubiKey with a alpha-numeric PIN.
