The ease of use and reliability of the YubiKey is proven to reduce password support incidents by 92%. With authentication speeds up to 4X faster than OTP or SMS based authentication, the YubiKey does not require a battery or network connectivity, making authentication always accessible. The YubiKey provides a simple and intuitive authentication experience that users find easy to use, ensuring rapid adoption and organizational security. Each key offers multi-protocol support including Yubico OTP, OATH HOTP, U2F, PIV. Users have the broadest options for strong authentication including two-factor and multi-factor authentication. The YubiKey offers superior security by combining hardware-based authentication and public key cryptography to effectively defend against phishing attacks and eliminate account takeovers.

This series of security keys are FIPS 140-2 validated (Overall Level 2, Physical Security Level 3.) and meet authenticator assurance level 2 (AAL2) of NIST SP800-63B guidance. The YubiKey 5 FIPS Series is a hardware based authentication solution that provides superior defense against phishing, eliminates account takeovers, and enables compliance requirements for strong authentication.
