Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The YubiKey 5Ci is a sturdily built and easily portable device. Once an account is setup to use it, the login process is a easy as entering a PIN and pressing the side of the YubiKey 5Ci. Setting up the use of it varies with apps and OS platform. Some learning is required. Howe er, it works quickly once set up. The YubiKey 5Ci has only Lightning and USB C connectors, so an adapter is necessary when using it with older, non-Mac devices that might not have a USB C port.

Great product, configuration is simple and straight forward. Works with all platform’s that require multi factor authentication. It works for apple devices and usb c devices, and the small form factor is very convenient.

This security key works well, it was easy to set up, and even easier to use. I'll be able to use this every day to securely log in without complicated passwords and security requests. The small size is nice, however, it would be very easy to misplace the key—some sort of keychain or lanyard connecting piece would have been an improvement. One disappointment is that there is no NFC capability, unlike other YubiKey products, despite this being much more expensive. Finally, the Apple Lightning connector is becoming obsolete, so moving forward, I'd recommend sticking to a USB-C model that supports NFC.
