Features
Meet the Security Key by Yubico: a security key for phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) supporting FIDO protocols. The Security Key by Yubico requires a physical touch to authenticate, eliminating the risk of remote attacks. The Security Key by Yubico functions by combining something you know (your password) with something you have (the physical security key) to add an extra layer of security. The Security Key by Yubico can also store Passkeys, which replace passwords entirely.Most cyber attacks begin with compromised account credentials, usually stolen usernames and passwords. Using a security key as two-factor authentication offers a straightforward and effective approach to safeguarding your identity, accounts and devices. Embraced by leading global brands and millions of users worldwide, Yubico products remain a trusted choice for enhanced security.
Security Key Series vs. YubiKey 5 Series
The Security Key series supports only FIDO protocols (FIDO2, U2F) and is not compatible with the Yubico Authenticator app. Some services require a YubiKey 5 Series for full compatibility. For broader protocol support, including OATH, PIV credentials, and computer logins, consider upgrading to the YubiKey 5 Series.
Works best with a spare YubiKey
A spare YubiKey ensures easy access to your accounts even if your primary YubiKey is lost, providing security and convenience when you need it most. Your spare key can be a different form factor than your primary key, and it will still function the same, as long as both keys are from the same YubiKey series.
Convenient and portable
The Security Key C NFC fits easily on your keychain, making it convenient to carry and use wherever you go, ensuring secure access to your accounts at all times. Simply plug in via USB-C or tap on your NFC-enabled device to authenticate.
Versatile compatibility
Supported by Google and Microsoft accounts, password managers and hundreds of other popular services. It works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux. Search for "Works With YubiKey" for list of compatible services.
FIDO-only protocols
Security Key Series is the more affordable security key supporting only FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey) and FIDO U2F authentication protocols. For improved compatibility upgrade to YubiKey 5 Series.
Durable and reliable
High quality design and resistant to tampering, water, and crushing. No batteries or network connectivity required, offering dependable authentication without any downtime. Securely manufactured in USA & Sweden.

A: The security key comes with a 1-year limited warranty for both parts and labor.- A: Once you add a YubiKey to a service, that service itself determines how it is used. For some devices the security and only the security key might be required every time, while others might only require a security key and username and password on new devices, and log you in if it sees the device instead of logging in. This can usually be changed if you forget the currently logged in device. This is beyond your control, and is all determined by the actual service or account itself. A few services give you options to modify it, and you would need to check their help documentation to see.
Q: Can this key be used with the samsung galaxy A21 (1 answers)
A: Based on the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A21, it appears to support USB-C, meaning YubiKeys with USB-C should be compatible. However, compatibility can vary depending on the exact model and connector type. Best Buy offer a range of YubiKeys with USB-A, USB-C, and Lightning connectors, as well as models that support NFC. If your device supports USB-C, we recommend the YubiKey 5C NFC, which offers both USB-C and NFC functionality. Just be sure to check if your phone also supports NFC if you plan to use that feature.- A: The Security Key Series is currently not available for in-store purchase. However, the YubiKey 5 Series is stocked in many Best Buy locations and can be purchased in-store.
