The YubiKey 5 series is a hardware-based authentication solution that provides higher protection against phishing, prevents unauthorized use of user accounts, and provides strong and multi-factor authentication.

Strong authentication
YubiKey offers superior security by combining hardware-based authentication with public key encryption. Using them, providing effective protection against phishing and unauthorized use of accounts. It supports multiple protocols, including FIDO2, Yubico OTP, OATH HOTP, U2F, PIV and Open PGP methods and services. Users get the widest range of options for strong authentication, including not only two-factor authentication, but also one-factor login without a password (passwordless). In addition, it supports multi-factor authentication with user touch and entering a PIN code.

Enabled without password
The YubiKey 5 series helps organizations transition to a password-free future by supporting the FIDO2 protocol. FIDO2 not only supports today's two-factor authentication, but also helps eliminate weak password authentication with strong one-factor hardware-based authentication. This method is supported by Microsoft 365 applications, IBM cloud products and other major manufacturers.

Easy, fast and reliable
Using the YubiKey is simple and intuitive, which users can easily learn, thus accelerating the acceptance of the hardware key and increasing the security of the company network. The authentication speed is four times faster than One-Time Password or SMS-based authentication. The YubiKey requires no battery or mobile network connection, so authentication is always available.

Reduce IT operating costs
YubiKey's ease of use and reliability have been proven to reduce (by 92%) the number of password-related support incidents. This was documented by Google in a research paper describing the rollout to Google employees in more than 70 countries around the world. Installations are faster and cheaper because the industry-leading Yubikey supports many protocols, systems and services. Since its introduction, attackers have not been able to gain access to any of Google's more than 85,000 corporate user accounts.
