Passwords are no longer enough when it comes to shielding your personal information from snoops and hackers. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is the next standard for securing logins to your most sensitive accounts. Not familiar with 2FA? You can get a quick overview here.
From the primer:
“Two Factor Authentication, also known as 2FA, two step verification or TFA (as an acronym), is an extra layer of security that is known as “multi factor authentication” that requires not only a password and username but also something that only, and only, that user has on them, i.e. a piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand – such as a physical token.”
YubiKey is a tiny USB-based product which allows you to bring 2FA to all your devices. Rather than receiving a special text message from your bank with a 2FA access code, YubiKey allows you to simply plug-in and “touch” your way through logins.
YubiKey works with your smartphone and your computer, and supports hundreds of services such as Google, Facebook, Dropbox, and more.
