    The YubiKey 5C NFC is an exceptional security key, offering robust two-factor, multi-factor, and passwordless authentication. Its dual interface—USB-C and NFC—ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The build quality is stellar, with a durable, water-resistant design that withstands daily wear and tear. Setting it up is straightforward, supported by extensive documentation. It works seamlessly with major platforms like Google, Microsoft, and password managers like 1Password. NFC functionality adds convenience for mobile device use, enhancing flexibility without sacrificing security. While its price may be higher than basic 2FA options, the enhanced security, ease of use, and broad compatibility make it a worthwhile investment for personal and professional use.

    This is the best for 2FA, you need 2, one for backup. I have used them since 2018. Now there several different types that make them even more useful.

    Easy to use and recommended by cyber security experts. If an account or website doesn't support security keys (many don't), this model gives you the added option of using it in conjunction with the Yubico authenticator app to receive security codes. This allows you to secure accounts with this security key even if they don't support physical security keys.

    Buy Two, One for Backup!

    This YubiKey is an absolute must-have for anyone who takes online security seriously. It works exactly as expected, adding an extra layer of protection while being fast and reliable in daily use.One thing I really appreciate is how Yubico designs and manufactures these keys in a secure environment. They come in a sealed package with limited handling, ensuring that you’re getting a 100% secure token, direct from the factory. This is critical for security-conscious users, as it eliminates the risk of tampering or supply chain attacks.If you’re serious about security, always have a backup key stored somewhere safe (literally in your safe). If you lose your primary key, recovering access to secured accounts can be a nightmare. YubiKeys last for years, so having two is a smart investment.

    It is very good and simple (and not expensive) way to elevate security to my digital assets. I quickly set up it as MFA for my accounts on Google, Microsoft and Proton. It works also with BitWarden and many web services (I set up so far ID.me and Login.gov). Gradually I will add it to my other accounts. Unfortunately most of the banks are not supporting hardware key yet. But it is good to have secured email account - this makes two factor stronger. So far no problems and every day I learn new way to use it - passkeys are great way to replace passwords with Yubikey!

    With the risks posed from sim swapping attacks and the recent cyber attacks on all US cell phone services, the YubiKey is a necessary replacement for SMS based 2FA. It is easy to setup and will give you peace of mind.

    I bought this product in the middle of fighting some identity, theft issues, and account pollution and thought it would be a useful tool to help secure my passwords and logins. Unfortunately, my accounts are too polluted and I could never get my passwords to stop getting hacked and changed in front of me to where I could actually try to set up and use a physical key like this so I can’t really write to review but I’m sure it works fine for what it is when somebody’s able to get it set up right now it’s just a fancy keychain. Overall, I’m going to recommend it because I think that some kind of physical key could really help somebody who is getting hacked. I’m getting their identity taken over consistently.
