If YubiKey is the default 2FA method... is it advisable to have other methods like "Google prompts" also enabled (Or does that negate/undermine the purpose of the Yubikey)?

The price of that key is just ridiculously high, if you take 2 you will lose €150,- euro €15,- would be a reasonable price. then they say that it will last 30 years, but the usb input that also changes every once in a while and they can probably make those things for a €1, if we wait a few more years, I think there will be several brands or systems on the market, think that now only people who are willing to pay the price for it who have cripto or other valuable things online and if the rest don't come to purchase they will automatically become cheaper, for this price I just feel for me as a ripped off, I already had seen one other brand just for €13,20 but was sold out now for the moment, I think I it say it was a 2FA key

Finally!!! Someone who know how to explain the actual Yubico app. I went through 17 videos before I found yours. Thank you so much for clearly explaining how this all works.

Excellent presentation. At first I was confused about the backup key. In the IT industry a backup implies a copy, a duplicate of such as a file or the contents of a hard drive. But I eventually learned that in the case of a security key, a backup is not a copy, a duplicate, of the first key. A backup is a second key independent of the first key. It took me a bit to unravel how the backup term was used so differently in the context of security keys.

I have been looking for a way to use my key for a while. You're the first person who has been able to explain how to utilize it correctly, and most importantly, easily.

How to combat it? B. How to not allow it to be installed on your tech (iPhone / Laptop) C. How to detect it (very hard to do) D. How to get rid of it (regardless if you know you have it.)

Do you know if consumers can use the 5C FIPS series keys? I'm wondering if the regular 5 NFC series differs from the 5 FIPS series other than the added level of security on the FIPS. I ask because I'm wondering if let's say you want to secure your gmail account with the regular 5 series, can you also do it with the 5 FIPS series? Or are most accounts the average user utilizes only compatible with the regular 5 series and not the FIPS series? If I can still use the FIPS series that has government level 3 encryption vs. the regular 5 series, which only has level 1 encryption, than I'd rather just make the investment and pay slightly more for the FIPS version and get added security but I'm not sure if it's ONLY for government use or can regular consumers use it to and for the most part it would still function like the regular 5 series but with the added protection? Thanks for making your content, it's valuable in today's digital world 👍❗

I have a yubi key but I can only use it with Google and Microsoft for now. My brokerages, banks, medical site do not support it...yet. It a good idea but it is too early now.

Yubikey 2FA is a great idea, but since Microsoft dropped support for signing into Windows it is pretty limited, also it is hardly cheap, especially as you really need two for backup. When the Yubikey is supported it also has to made the only way of signing in, what would be the point of Yubikey if you could bypass it by signing in using an alternative method. Finally it is very personal and you need your Yubikey with you, that could be very frustrating if you find yourself out and about, needling access, but with no key.

Can you explain the maximum number of login 2FAs on a single key? Is it possible to use the basic FIDO or other method on some sites and get more access on a single key? Is this practical or not? Thanks for your videos.

hi great vid i have desk top with windows 10 my sis has desk top windows 11 my mobile is old i5s that i use for 2 step verification so whats best yubikey 5 or 5 nfc

Nice video

I've just bought two of the type A Security Key NFC ones. The 5 series is more than twice the price in the UK. I'll stick to using a free authenticator app for that additional functionality. It's a pity they don't have a version with type A on one end, and type C on the other. Only two of the machines I use have type C. In hindsight, I should maybe have got the type C for future proofing, and used adaptors left plugged in to the devices, but I didn't think of that. It's better to phase out the need for adaptors over time, as type C takes over, rather than increase the need to use them.

Finally !

Question: If I set up 2 keys with identical secrets on them, then if I lose one, should I not immediately consider those secrets compromised, which makes the second key pointless? Should I not instead set up both keys with different secrets?

Informative video, my yubi keys literally just shipped today. I purchased a 2 pack of the NFC 5, I got the USB A style so I can use it with my PC. I am hoping I can set it up on my phone which is USB C since I won't physically be able to plug it in....hmmm

@naytoeaung

Жыл бұрын

1. True, it works on every website that offers 2FAs, and you can use Yubikey authenticator app instead of the key when the site doesn't offer the physical keys as 2FAs methods. Yubikey/ Yubico Authenticator app has the same functionality as google authenticator, Authy, etc,.. but it stores in the key, which is more secure than those google and Authy. 2. It depends on which method you set up as the 2FAs options. If you set up with Yubikey, the site will ask you to provide Yubikey. Likewise, if you set up with the authenticator app, the site will ask you for the 2FAs code that the yubikey/ yubico authenticator will provide. If you set up both methods as the 2FAs in the particular site, the site should ask you to make the choice between the physical key and the authenticator app. 3. The process is the same as using in ios, android, windows, mac or linux if you set up with the yubikey/ yubico authenticator app. For the physical key option, I find that some ios/ android app doesn't accept it, which means you can authenticate only with the authenticator app. For example, Proton Mail iOS app.

Need to download Yubi app just to read the codes???? Does this depends on the type of Yubi key being used???? I saw some tutorials wherein they don't use Yubi app just to read the codes.

What is you lose the ubikey or it gets damaged or just stops working after a few years?

What if they have remote desktop viewers on your laptop? Do they bypass the Yubikey?

I've bought 2 yubikey, should i delete google google authenticator ?

if i set up 2fa yubikey with a bank account on 1 computer then log in on a different computer do i need the key on both computers?

What happens if you lose ALL your physical Yubi keys... it there a backup way to get back into your accounts or even get a replacement key? I suppose if there was it would defeat the purpose but the risk of being permanently locked out is definitely a problem.

You’re exactly right, Paul. Most accounts give you backup codes that you can print out and keep in a safe if you want. The bottom line is this: when you’re responsible for your own security, you need to be careful!

Thank you for a very helpful video.

I will try to answer. But I am not 100% certain of my answers. I think that I understand the process. But I never used the Yubikey. Hence, my not being 100% certain. When you use the Yubikey to log in to web sites, you are telling those web sites that your password consists of 1) what you typed in to create the account, and 2) some data that is stored on the Yubikey flash drive. So just as you can use the same password on multiple sites, I am nearly positive that you can use the same Yubikey for multiple web sites. When our host stated that he has a backup Yubikey, I believe that that means that he has two flash drives (two Yubikeys) that are both registered with his web sites. Therefore, he can use either of his Yubikeys. The web sites probably do not care which one he plugs in. Either one should work, because our host registered both of them with the web sites. As to you question about needing a different key for each computer: My guess (and I am pretty sure about this) is that you can use your Yubikey on as many computers as you choose (just as using the same password on as many computers as you choose). I highly doubt that when you use your Yubikey on one computer, that some record is made to disallow you using your Yubikey elsewhere. And whether you use a Yubikey, or you do not use a Yubikey, you should never use the same password on more than one site. Although, for people that will still use the same password on multiple sites, then the Yubikey will make their account less vulnerable (I think). Maybe our host will confirm the above, and point out if I got something wrong. Lastly, if someone has physical access to your computer, then nothing (short of full system-wide disk encryption) will keep out a skilled attacker from gaining access. There are free tools that can be installed on a bootable flash drive that will defeat all login measures. Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for your video. It is very informative. I am a big advocate of privacy and security. One of the questions I have is does the key allow for access only via a password. My concern with the key is that if it is obtained, it could be used to open accounts or log into websites. I am personally not a fan of biometrics (fingerprint scan or facial recognition) because neither are protected under the first or fourth amendments. A simple password is however protected under the first amendment and a person cannot be compelled to provide that information by a law enforcement agency.

Hi Josh, which of the Yubikey products would you suggest for a first time user? I'd take your advice, and buy 2. I'm not excited about the fingerprint or biometric option. I have used an iPhone in the past, however currently am using Android. Lastly, I'd just like to double confirm I understand an important detail. If I have 3 separate gmail accounts, I can use the same 2FA key for all 3?

For most people, I think the Yubikey 5 NFC is the best option. However, if you're deep in the Apple ecosystem, it makes sense to purchase both a 5Ci (for the Apple connector) and a 5 NFC. And yes...you can use the same two keys to lock up as many Gmail accounts as you like 👍

My Windows and Mac computers both ask me for a PIN before I use my Yubikey. So I am enter username, password, interting Yubikey, then the PIN then touching then Yubikey... It's way too many steps. What am I missing as this seems to me to be too many steps...

Why would Brave and Windows security pop-up when activating a YubiKey for the first time?

Been waiting for you to make that for a long time . And now: show us how to create PW with them.

Yea I’m still a little confused about how to use the back up key if it’s separate setup.. are both keys set up identical passwords ? Any info is appreciated and great job on the video. Best one of 5-6 I’ve watched .

You don't create passwords with your YubiKeys. You create PW with your PW manager.

@@jerrysanders9101 - The setup is the same (not different as he mentioned). As far as the backup key, the site doesn't know if you are using a backup key(s) or not. It just checks its database. If the key you inserted is in the list then you gain access to your account.
