“Legacy MFA would not offer phishing-resistance… alternatives like SMS-based authentication are just obviously not as secure.”

[H1] How the YubiKey works
[H6] Protect the Digital You with the most secure and easy-to-use security key.
Home / Products / How the YubiKey works

[H2] Proven security at scale

[H3] Stop account Takeovers
YubiKeys are trusted by the world’s largest companies and users have experienced 0 account takeovers.

[H3] Easy to Setup and Support
It’s as easy as USB! Access your accounts 4x faster than other 2FA, and cut support calls by 92%

[H3] Purpose-built for Security
Unlike other 2FA, YubiKeys store no data, no network connection, and don’t run on software.

[H2] One key for many applications
The YubiKey works with hundreds of enterprise, developer and consumer applications, out-of-the-box and with no client software. Combined with leading password managers, social login and enterprise single sign on systems the YubiKey enables secure access to thousands of online services.

[H2] How it works
A single YubiKey has multiple functions for securing your login to email, online services, apps, computers, and even physical spaces. Use any YubiKey feature, or use them all. The versatile YubiKey requires no software installation or battery so just plug it into a USB port and touch the button, or tap-n-go using NFC for secure authentication.

[H2] Multi-protocol security key secures modern and legacy systems

The YubiKey supports WebAuthn/FIDO2, FIDO U2F, one-time password (OTP), OpenPGP 3, and smart card authentication offering a solution that bridges legacy and modern applications. Yubico and the YubiKey will continue to grow with your evolving business needs.

[H2] The YubiKey supports one-time passcodes (OTP)

OTP supports protocols where a single use code is entered to provide authentication. These protocols tend to be older and more widely supported in legacy applications. The YubiKey communicates via the HID keyboard interface, sending output as a series of keystrokes. This means OTP protocols can work across all OSs and environments that support USB keyboards, as well as with any app that can accept keyboard input.

Learn more about OTP

[H2] The YubiKey enables smart card authentication

Smart cards are another supported protocol on the YubiKey. The YubiKey identifies itself as a smart card reader with a smart card plugged in so it will work with most common smart card drivers. The YubiKey allows three different protocols to be used simultaneously – PIV, as defined by the NIST standard for authentication; OpenPGP for encryption, decryption, and signing; and OATH, for client apps like Yubico Authenticator.

Learn more about Smart Card/PIV

[H2] Enable modern authentication with FIDO U2F

FIDO U2F is another protocol supported by the YubiKey. The U2F protocol provides strong authentication without requiring a complex backend or framework to support it. Turning traditional authentication on its head, FIDO U2F makes the authentication device, like the YubiKey, the authentication provider. It issues unique keys to the services it is authenticating against, ensures each service does not have any information about the others, and removes the need for a central authentication service.

Learn more about FIDO U2F

[H2] Experience passwordless authentication with FIDO2

FIDO2 is the passwordless evolution of FIDO U2F. The overall objective for FIDO2 is to provide an extended set of functionality to cover additional use cases, with the main driver being passwordless login flows. The U2F model is still the basis for FIDO2 and compatibility for existing U2F deployments is provided in the FIDO2 specs.
