PIV smart card compatible, minidriver available on Windows Support for PKCS#1 Review: Boa compra - Chegou bem, lacre intacto d chave verifica. Está tudo funcionando perfeitamente Review: Very, very powerful - I won't mince my review of these: these are by far and away the best USB hardware crypto tokens I have every used. They can speak gnuk and ed25519, and thus can do the crypto for all your SSH logins and gpg, including git commits. Because of the hardware capacitive button, leaving them plugged in permanently is not a security risk, as even nation state actors who own your computer cannot physically activate the token. They work beautifully, without driver install, on Windows, Linux, MacOS and even Android and ChromeOS. In short, they are a one stop solution to all of it. That was the good. There is also the bad: unless you are doing U2P or Fido or something that the installed utility automates for you, expect to spend several hours researching the internet to figure out how to configure these properly. The documentation IS out there, but it's spread around, and there will be a fair bit of head scratching until you figure it out for the actually far more useful use cases which these will do, but for which nobody has automated the configuration for you yet. As much as all the manual configuration with gnuk, including telling the token to enable its capacitive button per gnuk crypto operation, is a pain, once it's done then it's done. The tokens "just work" thereafter. One major tip I learned the hard way: never buy one of these, always buy at least two. Configure both, and put one of them somewhere safe. Then if you lose the other one, or one breaks, you aren't locked out of *everything*. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Yubico | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Model name | 5060408461518 | | Special features | Crush Resistant, Passkey Slot (FIDO2): 100, Smart Card, OpenPGP, OATH - HOTP (Event), Yubico OTP, OATH - TOTP (Time), Stays in device, Water Resistant Special features Crush Resistant, Passkey Slot (FIDO2): 100, Smart Card, OpenPGP, OATH - HOTP (Event), Yubico OTP, OATH - TOTP (Time), Stays in device, Water Resistant See more | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yubico - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Hardware interface:** USB ## Images ![Yubico - YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication Security Key - USB-C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31xyjb10HSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Boa compra *by V***S on 2 April 2025* Chegou bem, lacre intacto d chave verifica.
