Setting these up is quite straight forward you download the Yubico authenticator app and set a pin. The pin is what you will use when you log into websites with the key that support these and get that pin wrong upto 8 times the Yubico will factory reset itself. The reason for this is if somebody steals your key it gives you that added protection. You can either use a yubico security key as the final step in 2factor authentication on a supported website or a passkey on a supported website. Support for these is a bit patchy and different websites might implement them a little differently. It's worth watching some tutorials on Youtube if you're a beginner and interested in these. There's other YubiKeys that offer more features so best do your research and choose the one that meets your individual needs. The Security key here is the most basic but does what I personally want. Pros - Stronger protection than say SMS codes for 2FA authentication. Only you have the physical key! - Setting them up as Passkeys offers strong protection against your login credentials being stolen and is convenient. Microsoft is one place that's starting to move away from Passwords and offer passwordless logins. It sounds less secure but it really isn't. Phishing is one of the leading ways hackers gain your credentials. Cons - You ideally need at least two in case you lose one, so keep one or more for a spares. - You have to weigh up your own security needs but it might be worth having another way into your account if you do lose or damage them. Websites typically offer multiple 2FA methods to confirm it's you. Only you can decide on your needs and your security will only then be as strong as the lowest method attached to that given account - A little learning curve but not difficult as such, like I say watch some tutorials if you're new Review: Flawless! - Great for security, setup was easy! ## Features - Works with 1000+ Accounts: Compatible with Google, Microsoft, and Apple. A single Security Key NFC secures 100 of your favorite accounts, including email, password managers, and more. - Fast & Convenient Login: Plug in your Security Key NFC via USB and tap it, or tap it against your phone (NFC) to authenticate. No batteries, no internet connection, and no extra fees required. - Trusted Passkey Technology: Uses the latest passkey standards (FIDO2/WebAuthn & FIDO U2F) but does not support One-Time Passwords. For complex needs, check out the YubiKey 5 Series. - Built to Last: Made from tough, waterproof, and crush-resistant materials. Made in Sweden with the highest security standards. - Primary & Spare Keys: Just like having a spare house key, we recommend buying two YubiKeys—one for daily use and one as a spare. That way you’ll never get locked out of your accounts. - Non-compatible - Upgrade to the YubiKey 5 Series for use with the Yubico Authenticator App. - Note: Latest firmware is not assured when purchasing via desertcart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BVNRXFHT | | Box Contents | 1 product | | Brand Name | Yubico | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Google and Microsoft accounts, password managers, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and other popular services | | Compatible Phone Models | Android, etc., iPhone | | Country of Origin | Sweden | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,262) | | Flash Memory Type | USB | | Hardware Connectivity Technology | USB Type C | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 Type C | | Item Weight | 10 Grams | | Manufacturer | Yubico | | Manufacturer Part Number | Y-405 | | Model Name | Security Key C NFC | | Model Number | 5060408465301 | | Network Connectivity Technology | NFC, USB | | Product Features | Crush Resistant, FIDO protocols only, Fits on keychain, Near field communication (NFC), Passkey (FIDO2) slots: 100, Water Resistant | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Write Speed | 10 MB/s | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yubico - **Connectivity technology:** NFC, USB - **Hardware interface:** USB 3.0 Type C - **Write speed:** 10 MB/s ## Images ![Security Key C NFC - Basic compatibility - Multi-factor authentication (MFA) security key and passkey, connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO certified - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DkFsG8yEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this require a subscription for single users?** A: Nope, their subscription service is for management of a large number of keys. **Q: Does this key work with Duo?** A: Yes - it worked for me. **Q: Can it work if I purchase Type C Female to A Male Power Adapter and still work?** A: Yes - it works for me. **Q: Does it work with bank of america?** A: Yep, for the web interface (their mobile app goes with text or email for the 2nd factor Auth) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good idea these but things to keep in mind before purchasing *by R***R on 6 April 2026* I am quite new to using security keys like Yubikey and after seeing a friends account get hacked causing them lots of grief I thought about my own security.
