## Description

desertcart.com: Yubico - YubiKey 5 NFC - Multi-Factor authentication (MFA) Security Key and passkey, Connect via USB-A or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts : Electronics

Review: Easy, portable, and extremely secure, best brand out there! - I have used a YubiKey for authentication at work for the past 3 years and while reviewing hardware MFA security keys did quite a bit of research of the various keys out that and the compatibility of the key with different solutions including the ability to authenticate with Windows Hello login, using passkey instead of BIO authentication and this one is one of the few recommended. Additionally, I liked the idea of using it with my cell phone as well and have setup many sites to use passkey authentication including ones like "login.gov" which supports and advocates for passkeys. Tonight I took the YubiKey out of my laptop and authenticated to a web site I had previously setup from my laptop with my mobile phone. I chose "passkey" for authentication then placed the YubiKey against the back of my cell phone with my finger on the touch pad and it immediately authenticated and logged it successfully. Now I can key from both devices once a key pair is setup for a web site so completely portable. You do have to enable NFC from your phone as it is likely off by default. I would buy this again and it works better and is a much easier and more way to login (authenticate) than passwords which are easily compromised. If I knew it was this easy and worked so well before I would have bought it long ago as the FIDO 2 keys have been available for a long time, it is just that many people do not know much about them.
Review: Best Investment - Yubico is the best product to get to deter phishing attempts. I happened to learn about this great item through John Hammond on YouTube when he was covering the topic on phishing attempts. I never knew there was a physical key you can use to lock down your accounts. I have owned this item for well over a year and find it absolutely a necessity in today's digital world. The fact they you can use it as a passkey, security key or OTP is so useful. Please note you need to buy these in pairs b/c if you lose the one key where all your access is on it you will not get back into your accounts. It would be ideal to have at least three. I ended up purchasing the one that sits connected to the computer and use the keys if I need to access it on my mobile or on another device. It's durable, valuable in every way and functionality is off the chart!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is yubico setup for one fingerprint or two?  If one, what happens when finger is cut or burned on grill?**
A: Yubico not support fingerprints. It is use for accept human presence. So if you insert yubico in pc or use nfc on smartphone. You can add "required touch" for every authentication operation. Touch approve that it is operation accept by real people. There is not a zero chance, if you do not confirm the action with a touch, then the attacker can use your yubico without your knowledge when you left it in the computer. This mechanism is designed to protect against such attacks.

**Q: This is an extremely common device. Why are there only 17 reviews, and even fewer for other Yubico devices?**
A: Likely because people value convenience over security, and this is a secure device.  

Also, the bad reviews that I've scanned come from people who simply do not understand what multi-factor access means. This device augments your username and password (that which you KNOW) with the device itself (that which you HAVE).  When used correctly, if your password is compromised it does an attacker no good unless they have the device as well. 

for myself, I used separate passwords for various purposes, so a single breach will not place at risk my other accounts. And most are not protected by MFA, since thet are trivial.  But for VPN access into my home, and finance accounts, I do use hardware based MFA.  A small price to pay for the added protection when there are significant consequences to a single breach.

**Q: can a pair of these be set up so one can be used as an emergency backup if the first one is lost?**
A: If you are buying this, you should buy two. Yes, using a second one as a backup is exactly what you want to do. Otherwise, if the first gets lost or broken, you are locked out of the accounts you set up.

**Q: Can you use this to auto-fill your passwords so you don't have to remember any?**
A: The YubiKey 5 is a FIDO2-capable key - which does replace password usage in many applications. From the FIDO Alliance website: "FIDO2 cryptographic login credentials are unique across every website, never leave the user’s device and are never stored on a server. This security model eliminates the risks of phishing, all forms of password theft and replay attacks."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 keys=$120 - Securing your identity=Priceless
*by A***7 on January 18, 2026*

The usefulness of this to prevent hacking and phishing attempts cannot be overstated. I am frequently targeted by hackers, but now, currently, I only lose my mobile Internet connection and not my identity. It is most effective on websites by adopting a zero-trust standard- avoiding the use of passwords entirely, never checking "remember me" when logging in on seemingly trusted devices, and always signing off when finished using a web account. The USB port can be adapted to a standard USB. It's portable designs allows it to slip in a wallet-phone case if you don't want to bring your keys anywhere. It's backward compatible with less advanced FIDO protocols, interoperable across all operating systems, and signs cryptographic challenges with near-instantaneous speeds. More websites and all banks should adopt FIDO2 as a means to make more of the Internet passwordless.
