YubiKey Reviews & Product Details

YubiKey provides exceptionally robust security with virtually no inconvenience. It is quick, dependable, and functions smoothly across various devices and accounts, all without requiring batteries, additional apps, or an internet connection. The plug-and-tap authentication process is effortless, making it easy to use while greatly lowering the chances of phishing or unauthorized account access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some services still lack native support for YubiKey, which may restrict its usefulness in specific situations. If you lose the key and haven't set up proper backups, it can be quite inconvenient. The initial setup process might also seem somewhat technical for those who aren't familiar with such devices, and since the physical key is small, it's easy to misplace unless you keep it attached to something.

I use Yubico's Yubikey everyday for my job. Yubikeys are easy to setup and can be done in a matter of minutes. Instructions are simple enough for even none tech savvy people to deploy and use them. This allows MFA to be implemented across a whole platform with ease, keeping our organizations documents secure with the press of a button. Highly recommend for those that lose passwords easily, becoming the best way we have found to keep our logins secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though Yubikeys can be used in just about any type of login you can think of, we do come across platforms it cannot be used on occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price per key is decently priced. But ultimately them having FIPS validation ensures that I pass a huge cyber security compliance obligation from FBI CJIS as well as NIST standards. Beyond the product is the people, they have incredible customer service. Unparalleled to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that I cannot afford to hire them. Joking aside, I have zero dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's the best value in cybersecurity. Mandatory for everyone on our team because it allows us to enhance security for even non-technical users. We just buy the device, configure it once, then their security is amplified for the duration of their employment.

We use it every day for every employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Yubico desktop app needs work on Mac. It hangs up and has to be killed manually from time to time... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yubico’s hardware-based authentication provides an exceptional level of security. The YubiKey is easy to use, quick to set up, and works seamlessly across various platforms and services. Its compatibility with multiple authentication protocols like FIDO2, OTP, and WebAuthn makes it highly versatile. Additionally, the offline authentication feature is extremely helpful when working in restricted or no-internet environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is the limited support for some legacy applications that do not integrate with modern authentication standards. Also, for new users, the initial configuration can seem a bit technical. However, once set up, it works flawlessly.

In our organisation we face a lot of issues when we integrate yubikey c series with azue AD connected Devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We specifically picked Yubikeys because they gave us the ability to have MFA without the need for Internet access (as many power control systems are not connected to the cloud). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No issues with Yubikey. Programming and usage was straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes a strong 2 factor authentication for any app or website. Sinced it's using a physical key, it's highly secure. It's very easy to use with a PC via the USB port or with a mobile with the RFID chip, one tap to access all you 2FA passcodes. I use it everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any downside I can think of, maybe the fact that you need to always carry it with you, but it's easy to attach it to your keychain. I also bought a second one for backup in case I lose the first one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently got on to using Yubikey, it's easy to use and a quick app to install. As a first-time user as well, it was an easy learning curve and is pretty compatible with all devices to use- further enhancing UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing. Its really easy to use, especially in comparison to other apps of MFA like DUO Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a unique software and adds two layers of security that traditional MFAs can't match up to. And despite this its very user-friendly. Virtual support from models like U2F ensures my content is safe and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it offers services that other MFA software cant, it also charges a heavy price for these services. Thus investment into Yubico only makes sense if you are part of a large organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using this yubikey physical device since last 6 months when I joined current organization. In my current organization, yubikey is being used as MFA solution which is paired with PingID. As per current client security policy, some phone device model are not allowed to pair with pingid so here in this case, yubikey can be used to authenticate users as multi factor authentication.

The best part I like about yubikey is, it does not require finger print. When paired and asked for MFA, you just need to insert yubikey device in system and touch the yubikey and a random code will be generated from there which will authenticate you. Very easy to use. If anything goes wrong in yubikey configuration we can recreate configuration using yubico manager or yubikey personalization tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the last section, I mentioned about yubico manager tool. With the help of this tool, we can reset PIN for yubikey and create new configuration as well. One thing I dislike about yubikey is, suppose user forgot yubikey PIN and want to reset the PIN. They installed yubico manager which required admin rights to install and also after opening the application, the sector for yubikey PIN reset also requires admin rights in the system then only users will be able to reset the PIN. The some of the organization does not allow to employees have admin rights on system. It voilates security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
