YubiKey as a Service accelerates business
Simplify security with a subscription
Proven, easy-to-use security that’s trusted by the
world’s leading companiesPrevent man-in-the-middle attacks and eliminate account takeovers
Any software downloaded on a computer or phone is vulnerable to malware and hackers. The YubiKey is based on hardware with the authentication secret stored on a separate secure chip built into the YubiKey, with no connection to the internet so it cannot be copied or stolen. Additionally, centralized servers with stored credentials can be breached. With the YubiKey, the data is encrypted with strong public key cryptography where only the public key is stored on the server, eliminating risks.
Reduces IT costs
The YubiKey dramatically reduces the number one IT support cost—password resets—which cost Microsoft over $12M per month. By switching from mobile one time passwords (OTPs) to YubiKeys, Google saw the following results:
- Zero account takeovers
- 4x faster logins
- 92% fewer IT support calls
Easy to use, fast, and reliable
Users don’t need to install anything and can use the YubiKey in minutes. And the YubiKey is reliable because it does not require a battery or network connectivity, so it’s always on and accessible.
Easy to deploy
IT can deploy YubiKeys in days, not months. A single key, through its flexible multi-protocol capabilities, can work out-of-the-box with hundreds of systems, both cloud and on-premises. This eliminates the need for costly integrations or separate devices for each system, and can support passwordless, strong two-factor and multi-factor authentication scenarios.
Trusted authentication leader
Yubico is the principal inventor of the WebAuthn/FIDO2 and U2F authentication standards adopted by the FIDO alliance and is the first company to produce the U2F security
key and a multiprotocol FIDO2 authenticator. YubiKeys are produced in our offices in the USA and Sweden, maintaining security and quality control over the entire manufacturing process.Get Started

FAQs
Is there a subscription for YubiKey? ›
Subscription (2.0)
Purchase backup YubiKey subscriptions at a discount to ensure your backup authentication mechanism is as strong as your primary one and to enable easy self-service account recovery. Extended warranty: warranties cover the initial term of the subscription plus the first renewal.
Founded in 2007 by former CEO now Chief Evangelist Stina Ehrensvärd, Yubico is a private company with offices in Santa Clara, CA, Bellevue, WA, and Stockholm, Sweden.
Can you use a YubiKey for multiple services? ›OATH-TOTP - the YubiKey 5's OATH application can hold up to 32 OATH-TOTP credentials (AKA authenticator codes). OTP - this application can hold two credentials, can be registered with an unlimited number of services.
Can I use YubiKey as a 2FA? ›The YubiKey 5 Series eliminates account takeovers by providing strong phishing defense using multi-protocol capabilities that can secure legacy and modern systems. The series provides a range of authentication choices including strong two-factor, multi-factor and passwordless authentication, and seamless touch-to-sign.
Why is Yubico so expensive? ›It is costly to design, mould, manufacture, sell and support a hardware product, even something as small as this. Since you don't want your 2FA company to go out of business there is good value in knowing they have a stable business model that can actually support a company rather than just burning capital.
What is the lifespan of a YubiKey? ›A Yubikey will essentially last forever, and if you stay clear of the insanity that is Passkeys its Webauthn element can support an infinite number of websites.
Is buying a YubiKey worth it? ›The Yubico Security Key C NFC is the best choice: It's affordable and will work with just about every site that supports security keys. If you're already familiar with security keys and need or want more-advanced features, the Yubico YubiKey 5C NFC is a pricier but worthwhile choice.
Can YubiKey be trusted? ›Proven security at scale
YubiKeys are trusted by the world's largest companies and users have experienced 0 account takeovers.
Yubico's YubiKey is built on a foundation of strong authentication. This robust resistance to phishing offers malware protection because it hinges on the ability to detect these attacks before they take place.
What happens if someone steals your YubiKey? ›So, what happens if you lose your YubiKey? In that case, you can still use your Authenticator app (phew!). While you can't create a backup YubiKey, you can always contact Yubico to get a replacement key.
How many passkeys can a YubiKey hold? ›
The YubiKey works as a passkey generator that can create both the public and private keys necessary to begin passkey login with accounts, apps, services and vendors that enable it – a YubiKey serves as a repository for up to 100 unique passkeys.
Can a YubiKey be cloned? ›While the researchers have confirmed all YubiKey 5 series models can be cloned, they haven't tested other devices using the microcontroller, such as the SLE78 made by Infineon and successor microcontrollers known as the Infineon Optiga Trust M and the Infineon Optiga TPM.
What is the most secure YubiKey? ›Best Overall
The Yubikey Security Key C NFC is our top pick for most people.
Yubico developed these small USB or NFC-enabled keys as a physical component in two-factor or multi-factor authentication systems. Like a door key with ridges that turn physical tumblers, YubiKeys unlock digital assets by performing operations using cryptographic keys.
Why use YubiKey instead of Google Authenticator? ›Yubikey Authenticator boasts a higher level of security compared to software-based solutions. It can be used across multiple devices and even offers the convenience of passwordless login. However, it does have some drawbacks. Unlike Google Authenticator, Yubikey Authenticator lacks the ability to transfer backups.
Do I need to register my YubiKey? ›To find compatible accounts and services, use the Works with YubiKey tool below. Each YubiKey must be registered individually. For each service you set up, have your spare YubiKey ready and add it right after the first one before moving to the next.
Should I keep my YubiKey plugged in? ›Do I need to keep my yubikey plugged in all the time? A. No, you only need to insert your yubikey when you are prompted to do so during login. Leaving it plugged in could result in the yubikey being lost or damaged.
