Hardware Security Keys for Phishing-Resistant Authentication
Maker of the YubiKey, a hardware security key delivering phishing-resistant multi-factor and passwordless authentication for enterprises and individuals in a single touch.
Overview
Yubico is the inventor of the YubiKey and a leading contributor to open authentication standards including FIDO2/WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, and OTP. YubiKeys are hardware security keys that provide strong, phishing-resistant authentication in a single touch, replacing or augmenting passwords across enterprise systems, cloud services, and consumer applications.
Designed for both high-security enterprise deployments and everyday users, YubiKeys work across a wide range of protocols and integrate with major identity providers, operating systems, and cloud platforms — enabling organizations to move toward passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication without disrupting existing workflows.
