    Great product, difficult setup (not its fault tho)

    I've heard a lot about Yubikeys but this is my first one. I like that it's USB-C, Lightning, and NFC-compatible (although I'm nervous about using NFC in general). Ironically, I found this is a little hard to use because so many things support passkeys these days. For example, I tried to set it up in my Google account -- first Chrome popped up offering to store the Passkey, then my password manager, then Windows Hello... I had to try several times to get all the right options that would finally connect the Yubikey to my account. The strange part was when it asked me to "touch the key" even though there's no touchpad / fingerprint reader. Eventually, I figured out that's what the contacts on the side are for -- you have to grasp the key lightly, pressing your fingers on both contacts, to recognize your presence. This is a nice security feature (to guarantee presence of a person, not just the device) but I feel Yubico should have included some kind of instructions that explained the contacts were for the touch portion. I tried a couple more services (Microsoft accounts for personal and business) and the steps were almost as confusing to navigate. I also tried it on my phone -- couldn't get the NFC to work through my OtterBox, but it worked fine plugged into the USB-C port, albeit with some of the same missteps as I made on the desktop PC. Also, one minor usage issue -- my PC only has 1 USB-C port on the front, which is where I normally charge my phone. So I'll just have to use a USB-A to C cable for the phone to free up the port for the Yubikey. In summary, I really like the device, it's a great size and shape, it's compatible with everything I need it for... but it's just really annoying getting it connected because each service has its own method and terminology, and lots of apps and services want to "help" with the setup. This isn't necessarily Yubico's fault, but it does keep me from recommended Yubikeys to less-sophisticated users, which are the exact folks I'd like to recommend this sort of extra security to.

    YubiKey 5Ci with USB C and Lightning

    I picked up the the YubiKey 5Ci to be able to use for a few of my MFA needs. Currently have it setup for AWS account and for some work applications as well. It was great that it has USB C and lightning, since im able to use it on my laptop and personal phone with USB C and have the lightning for my work phone. It's TINY. Make sure you stick it on a keychain asap. It fits on a regular quarter sized keychain so i can spin it around for USB C or lightning. Doubles as a fidgit spinner as added bonus. I ordered mine online and it arrived in a flat cardboard paper with a shipping label. At first i thought the box got torn and all i recieved was the box top! It's in between! The packing is so small, it's easy to miss! I'm looking for more ways to secure my tools, it's fairly easy to use. For AWS, after my credentials are entered I have the option to use auth app or key. Once I select key, i have to touch the 2 metal contacts on the key and it passes the token over to authorize. Works well, and makes my mfa needs convenient.

    YubiKey 5Ci it’s great

    I am was looking for a good way to start securing all my accounts and information. This device was super simple to setup, I just down loaded their authenticator app, plugged my device in and went to work setting up my configuration and adding accounts. Very user friendly and definitely will be adding this to a key chain, it is quite small, but that is great for security purposes. Also Yubico recommends purchasing a back yubikey just incase, I will definitely be doing that. Altogether very satisfied, product does what as is advertised and performs great!

    Best security for on-line accounts

    YubiKey Series 5 security keys provide the most comprehensive online security against would-be online thieves who wish to steal your online accounts and spend your money, when used with Yubico's Authentication app. You should download this app onto ALL of your devices. The app is free and allows you to keep all your One-Time Pass Codes on your person at all times via the YubiKey security key. Since the app and YubiKeys run entirely locally, there is no need to be online to access the One-Time Pass Codes (OTPC), which are stored on the YubiKey. Since the OTPCs run on your devices, there is no reason to fear that online authentication services can be breached or decide to cancel their services. Also, many websites offer to use your YubiKey as a passkey in place of your password, so there is no need to memorize your passwords for those websites. So, for iPhone and Mac users, you may use your fingerprint, facial recognition, and/or your YubiKey to log into many websites in place of your passwords.

    Great 2FA dongle, little improvement needed.

    Pros: Small, lightweight, works w/all of my devices (Pixel 8 Pro, ROG Ally X, and iPad Air G3). Cons: Could use some kind of cap/cover for the ports, could be cheaper.
