To me this would be a whistleblower moment for higher-ups. It is not possible* for someone to alter the code on a YubiKey once it has been programmed and sealed at the factory. Then I have to say as a fellow tinfoil-hat wearer that your security team is really not smart, or really doesn't understand the YubiKey. Needless to say, we don’t use them anymore because if you can’t safely repurpose an IT asset during its service life, it’s a showstopper. Our security team doesn’t allow us to deprovision/reprovision them for a 2nd use once they’ve been issued to the first departing employee because they could then contain malware and be compromised- even after following Yubi’s procedures to scrub them. We used Yubikeys in our org up through last year. The YubiKey 5C NFC can be purchased for $55 from the Yubico website. It supports multiple authentication protocols such as FIDO2 and WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, PIV (smart card), OATH-HOTP and OATH-TOTP (hash-based and time-based one-time passwords), OpenPGP, YubiOTP, and challenge-response, so a single key can work with multiple services and applications. YubiKey 5C NFC is compatible with common password management apps like 1Password and LastPass, and it also works on the web. At the end of the day, our customers crave security that 'just works' no matter what." That's why the YubiKey 5C NFC is one of our most sought-after security keys - it's compatible with a majority of modern-day computers and mobile phones and works well across a range of legacy and modern applications. "Users are no longer tied to just one device or service, nor do they want to be. "The way that people work and go online is vastly different today than it was a few years ago, and especially within the last several months," said Guido Appenzeller, Chief Product Officer, Yubico. Just connect it to a USB-C device or tap it on an NFC-compatible iPhone to authenticate. It's more convenient than software-based two-factor authentication because you don't need a security code.
Like other devices in the YubiKey lineup, the YubiKey 5C NFC is a hardware-based two-factor authentication dongle that is designed to work with hundreds of services to make logins more secure.
With the NFC integration, the YubiKey 5C NFC features tap-and-go authentication that works with all major browsers and operating systems, plus it continues to offer a physical USB-C connector. Yubico, a company that sells physical security keys for two-factor authentication, today announced the launch of the new YubiKey 5C NFC, pairing USB-C and NFC support in a single device.Īccording to Yubico, the YubiKey 5C NFC is the first multi-protocol security key that supports smart cards.
