The standout feature of the YubiKey 5 NFC is its ability to provide strong two-factor authentication. It combines something you have (the physical key) with something you know (your password) to verify your identity. This significantly enhances security by thwarting unauthorized access and protecting against phishing attacks or password breaches.
The YubiKey 5 NFC offers a range of authentication methods, including one-time password (OTP), FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F), and NFC. The NFC functionality allows for seamless and convenient authentication on NFC-enabled devices, such as smartphones or tablets. Simply tap the YubiKey to the device, and it securely verifies your identity, providing a frictionless experience.
Setting up the YubiKey 5 NFC is straightforward. It is compatible with a wide range of platforms and services, including popular ones like Google, Facebook, Dropbox, and many more. The YubiKey works with major web browsers and operating systems, making it incredibly versatile and adaptable to your specific needs.
The build quality of the YubiKey 5 NFC is exceptional. It is made of durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability. The key is designed to withstand physical wear and tear, and it is water-resistant, making it suitable for various environments and conditions.
The portability of the YubiKey 5 NFC is another advantage. Its compact size allows you to easily carry it on a keychain or in your pocket, ensuring that it is always accessible when needed. The absence of batteries or moving parts adds to its convenience, as there is no need for charging or maintenance.
Yubico, the company behind the YubiKey, is known for its commitment to security and privacy. The YubiKey 5 NFC undergoes rigorous testing and encryption protocols to ensure the highest level of protection for your sensitive data. It provides peace of mind, knowing that your online accounts and digital assets are safeguarded against unauthorized access.
In terms of value, the YubiKey 5 NFC is an excellent investment. Its robust security features, versatility, and compatibility with a wide range of services make it a worthwhile addition to your digital security arsenal. With the rising threat of cyberattacks and identity theft, the YubiKey provides a simple yet powerful solution to protect your online presence.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC to anyone seeking stronger security for their digital life. With its seamless authentication process, durable construction, and broad compatibility, it sets the standard for two-factor authentication devices. Invest in the YubiKey 5 NFC and take control of your online security, ensuring that your accounts and personal information remain secure.
I strongly recommend buying two of these at a time if you can. They'll still work, but having a backup stored somewhere safely can really make things easier if you ever lose your original. It fits on a keychain and I've never had a problem with the older one that I've had for about 10 years.
The only downside to these is that not every website or company implements this as an option for 2-factor identification. It's simply bizarre to me that I can use this on quite a few websites with the extremely noticeable exception of *every* *single* financial institution that I do business with. (I know there are some banks that do, though).
Once you set it up, it's easy to do. The only complaints that I get from most people is that it's just a hassle to have to log-in and take the extra 5 (maybe 10) seconds to pull out the key to log into your account.
This is a must if you use a password manager. If all you're using is single-factor on your Dashlane or LastPass or 1Password you need to consider the extra security by taking this extra step (for whatever password manager you use -- and you really *need* to be using a password manager, btw).
You do need to make sure to read the instructions which can be a little technical, but Yubico has a great set of tutorials that make it fairly simple (plus there are a ton of instructional videos on YouTube that are helpful as well). Or just get your techie friend to help.
You don't really need to use this for every single website, and there are a lot of websites that don't use it, but for the ones where you have any personal or financial information, it's becoming more and more of an almost necessity.
Before you buy, make sure to read up a little on how they work and that will let you know which one will work better for you.
Overall, these are a great way to provide a fairly significant increase in your online security. Realize, however that it won't guarantee that you won't be part of a breach, but you at least can feel better about someone being able to take over your important accounts by guessing your password or stealing your phone/computer/tablet.
If someone steals both, then all bets are off. That's why you keep the Yubico key on your keychain and your computer somewhere else.
I'd recommend these for people who have a need for extra security online.
Also, remember that (so far and contrary to what you may hear or read anecdotally), there hasn't been a single case where this type of 2FA has been breached when it's been used correctly.

I don't like spending $50 but its worth it.. over the years I bought 6 of these because I've lost it and had to reset everything :(....Highly recommend storying the back up codes or 2FA codes somewhere like a Safe Deposit box or etc
