Picked up the Yubikey NFC to help secure some of my security Sensitive tools. I have it set up for my AWS console and adding it was super simple! 2 steps in aws, name and add security key. Insert into laptop and wait for it to flash green and tap the Y and it's saved. There's a keyring hole thats metal, so should keep it safely on my lanyard. Looks like very solid build and weighs as much as a quarter I think. The NFC worked well as well, but took me a few seconds to figure out where my nfc tap was the first time. Tested on my Google account.

Exactly as described. Works perfectly. Fits in my laptop bag zipper pouch - compact and easy for remote work. Will end up ordering another for my husband.

I recently picked up the Yubico Security Key C NFC, and I can confidently say it's been a game-changer for my online security. This little key is easy to use and it doesn't have large packaging or complicated instructions. There's no complex setup, no software to install, and no batteries to worry about. I use it with everything from my laptop to my phone, and it works flawlessly, giving me immense peace of mind knowing my accounts are protected against phishing and unauthorized access.
I use it for my Google account, my password manager, and Microsoft . if someone gets my password, they can't access my accounts without the key. It's also super durable and small enough to fit on my wallet.

Just got this Yubico key and I’m already impressed. Setup was quick and it works perfectly with my accounts. I tested it on my laptop (USB-C) and phone (NFC) — both were smooth. Feels solid and gives me extra peace of mind for my online security. Great first impression!

Pretty nifty device. It can store all your security keys on it and you can conveniently take them with you. Can go right on your keychain. It is kind of like cold storage for your digital life. Even works without internet access. Why leave security keys in the hands of a 3rd parties?

I work with my hands and frequently am unable to use my phone for two factor authentication. The yubico is proving to be a very convenient tool to secure my accounts. Making them accessible when I'm unable to use my phone for two factor authentication.

Good product from a reputable company. Their keys are made in the USA and Sweden not China. It is easy to use but is limited to accounts and websites that support physical security keys. I recommend you consider purchasing the more expensive Yubico 5C NFC ($55) because it offers the versatility of using it to secure accounts and websites that only support 2FA apps.

This security key has an app to reset/reconfigure it if necessary, but it worked right out of the box! The instructions were easy to follow and getting set up with my first accounts was quick and easy!

Well I shouldn’t be reviewing because I’m unable to use this product because it requires you to have two. I ordered two but one has been pending for over a month now and says it’s on the way I’ve called. They said they are sending me another but yet I still have nothing make sure you order two of these because it requires you to have a second back up.
