Two-Factor Security Key YubiKey 5C NFC USB Type-C

Product Description

The YubiKey 5 Series is a hardware authentication solution that provides superior phishing defense, eliminates account takeovers, and meets compliance requirements for strong authentication.

Strong Authentication

The YubiKey provides superior security by combining hardware-based authentication and public key cryptography to effectively protect against phishing attacks and prevent account takeovers. It offers support for multiple protocols, including FIDO2, Yubico OTP, OATH HOTP, U2F, PIV, and Open PGP. Users have a broad range of options for strong authentication, including not only two-factor authentication but also passwordless single-factor login and multi-factor authentication with a user touch and PIN.

Passwordless

The YubiKey 5 Series helps organizations accelerate the adoption of a passwordless future with support for the FIDO2 protocol. FIDO2 not only supports modern two-factor authentication but also paves the way for the elimination of weak password-based authentication through strong single-factor hardware authentication.

Easy, Fast, and Reliable

The YubiKey delivers a simple and intuitive authentication experience that users find easy to use, ensuring fast adoption and organizational security. With authentication speeds up to 4 times faster than OTP or SMS-based authentication, the YubiKey requires no battery or network connectivity, making authentication always accessible.

Reduces IT Operational Costs

The proven simplicity and reliability of the YubiKey reduce password-related support incidents by 92%. This has been documented in a Google research paper detailing the deployment of Google employees in over 70 countries. Deployments are faster and cheaper due to YubiKey's industry-leading support for multiple protocols, systems, and services.
