YubiKey

The YubiKey is a hardware authentication device that eliminates account takeovers through phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication. Unlike traditional MFA methods using SMS codes or authenticator apps, the YubiKey is a physical security token that requires presence and provides cryptographic proof of authentication by combining something you know (password) with something you have (the physical key). The device prevents phishing attacks by creating a cryptographic link between credentials and specific websites—even if a user clicks on a phishing email, the YubiKey recognizes the fraudulent link and refuses to authenticate.

According to Forrester Consulting research, organizations using YubiKeys experienced a 99.9% reduction in security risk, 75% drop in password-related helpdesk tickets, 92% reduction in support calls, and 203% three-year ROI. Google eliminated account takeovers entirely among employees using YubiKeys. The YubiKey is FIPS 140-2 certified, manufactured in the USA and Sweden to the highest security standards, and works with hundreds of enterprise services including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AWS, and major identity providers. With PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award and 5.0 rating, YubiKey is recognized as the industry standard for hardware-based authentication.
