Customer Ratings & Reviews

Satisfied with my purchase. Easy to set-up and use!

Great buy, you don’t need it every day for a verified device. If you want to use it for financial purposes check if your bank supports FIDO security before buying.

Worth the extra sense of security. Do your research to make sure you have the right version and that it's compatible with the device or service you want to use it with.

Fantastic. The gold standard. Super usable for both computer and phone.

now can securely access social security site as well as other gov site...

I think it's necessary to have multi factor authentication due to the ever growing sophistication of cyber criminals emboldened by growing success and resources.

Top class product delivered and very welcoming staff

Works as expected on windows and on iphones. Just be aware not all websites and applications are compatible with this.

I've been wanting to try a device like this for some time now. With internet thieves working overtime to steal any information they can get, an extra layer of security never hurts. The YubiKey 5C NFC is incredibly small. Smaller than your average house or car key. This is good and bad. Great for carrying it around, bad because it could be easy to lose. In fact, during the set up process it is recommended to set up two YubiKey's at the same time so as to have a backup. I haven't done this, but I can see why it would be a good idea. The YubiKey 5C NFC works very well. Being able to use it as an NFC device or being able to use USB-C is great. There are a ton of compatibility. It has been really thought out in this regards. Once you have it connected to whatever it is you are securing, it works just fine and gives a great piece of mind that you have the added security. So why not give it 5 stars? Well, it can be a bit troublesome to set up. I don't really blame this on the YubiKey itself. It is really more of an issue with there being so many different websites you will want to connect it to and each has it's own set of protocols. Most are easy to set up, others not so much. If you are a very tech savvy person (or better yet an I.T. person) you shouldn't have much trouble. But for the average home user it might feel overwhelming. But don't get me wrong, the extra piece of mind is worth the hassle.

I should have bought the second one! I'll be back.

Excellent MFA device, the app is simple and effective

It’s a nice device to keep secure your authenticity

Privacy! If you don't have one, two, or even three, it's never too late!

Works ok for the most part, people are still able to bypass and hack my phone

I’ve had difficulty getting it set up with Coinbase.

Very difficult to figure out how to use. Its a good idea, however they aren't very user friendly.

The requirements for a hardware-based security key are simple: it needs to be secure, it should be easy to set up and use, it should be well-built, and finally it should be convenient. And the Yubikey 5C NFC checks all the boxes. In terms of security, it supports all the latest cryptographic standards out there. Not being a security expert, I rely on information from other experts and websites, and from what I could understand the Yubikey 5C seems to have no issues at the moment. One really good aspect of Yubikey is that it supports most of the systems out there: WebAuthn, FIDO2 Universal 2nd Factor, Smart card (PIV-compatible), Yubico OTP, OATH – HOTP/TOTP, OpenPGP, and Secure Static Passwords. What it means is most of the webservices I commonly use everyday are covered by one protocol or the other (especially since most services support WebAuthn, FIDO2 or OATH. Also, Yubikey provides specific set up guides for a lot of services, and I haven’t found one that is missing for me (YMMV). And using it is just a charm - for my PC I use the USB-C connector, and for my Android smartphone I use the NFC (with the fall-back to USB-C if needed). This makes the key extremely useful and versatile, making security convenient without being a roadblock. The make is durable - it is IP68 rated so it’s water and dust resistant. It didn’t feel flimsy and I was comfortable enough to keep it with my keychain - no need for babying. A convenient hole makes adding a loop-insert easy. The Yubikey 5C NFC is a true universal device and supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux. As for services, a “work with Yubikey” page guides all the supported platforms. There 2 accompanying apps that can work with the 5C NFC - the Yubico authenticator app which is a multi-platform authenticator app (surprisingly supporting Windows desktop - a rarity), and a Yubikey Manager that helps do some configuration stuff. In summary, I don’t think there’s any other hardware security key that’s available to consumers with such a broad array of features. It’s worth the price due to NFC capability. For security conscious user I think this is a must have.

It's easy to set up bit of didn't work half the time. It bent pretty easily and now I'm locked out of all my accounts.

Not as-friendly as I anticipated. Even the app installed, my phone and do not it a passkey. Additionally, it cannot be used to sign into a Windows PC.

It is a good product but a bit hard to pair with ios
