Yubico


The default security key. No reason to overthink it.

Yubico makes the keys most people should just get and move on with.

Why it matters

It gives you phishing-proof 2FA on the most important accounts without adding a step to your daily routine. Plug in, tap, done.

Best for

  • People who want 2FA that a fake login page can’t break
  • People who want the most widely supported key on the market
  • People who want one brand they can trust for years, not a one-off

Key features

  • Open source
  • Plugs into your laptop, taps your phone
  • No app to install or update
  • Works with any site that supports security keys

Note that you should keep a backup so you’re not locked out if one goes missing.

Our Take


Yubico is the default answer. If you’re not sure, the C NFC is the one.
