About YubiKey
YubiKey is a hardware security key made by Yubico. You plug it in or tap it to sign in, which can replace passwords and one-time codes for many accounts.
What it does
A YubiKey stores passkeys and other credentials on a small device and proves your identity when you tap it. Because the key checks the site it talks to, a phishing page cannot easily reuse the login. It works over USB or NFC, so most setups need no extra software to get started.
Key features
- Single tap sign-in with passkeys
- Works over USB or NFC without installed software
- Protects against phishing and credential theft
- Works for personal and business accounts
- Supports deployment at scale for organizations
Who it's for
YubiKey suits individuals who want stronger protection for email, cloud and social accounts. It also fits businesses that want phishing-resistant sign-in for staff, and IT teams that roll out keys across many users.
Pricing and good to know
YubiKeys are hardware products that you buy, so the cost is per key. The website has a store for buying them. Register a spare key on your important accounts, because losing your only key can lock you out of those accounts.
