How it works
For maximum security we always recommend protecting your user accounts with the YubiKey. However where an authenticator app is preferred, the Yubico Authenticator app allows you to store your credentials on a YubiKey and not on your mobile phone, so that your secrets cannot be compromised. The Authenticator App requires a YubiKey 5 Series to generate OTP codes.


Hardware-backed security
Add your credential to the YubiKey with touch or NFC-enabled tap. Hardware-backed strong two-factor authentication raises the bar for security while delivering the convenience of an authenticator app. Users can also experience greater convenience by unlocking their YubiKey with FaceID or TouchID. And, users can use smart card certificates stored on the YubiKey to authenticate with other apps and sites, using their iPhone or iPad by leveraging Apple’s keychain capabilities that now extend to crypto assets.


Easy and fast setup
Generate your unique credential using QR codes available from the services you wish to protect with 2FA. Secures all the services currently compatible with other Authenticator apps. For example, Azure MFA supports TOTP authentication to secure Office 365.


Secure multiple work and personal accounts
Start protecting all of your accounts with stronger two-factor authentication. Easily generate new security codes that change periodically to add protection beyond passwords. And your secrets are never shared between services.
