Review on Yubico YubiKey 5C NFC: Strengthen Online πŸ”‘ Security with USB-C and NFC Two-Factor Authentication Key by Linda Fournier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much more secure secondary authentication than SMS

If you don't want people to be able to get your secure web information, use secondary authentication. I bought this primarily for my LastPass account as it is important. I also use Yubikey for any other account that allows use for secondary authentication e.g. e.g. Google. Once I've entered my Google information, all I have to do is tap the Yubikey and my secondary authentication will be sent. Very quick and easy. SMS on your mobile phone has been hacked. Yubikey was not hacked. This special Yubikey can be left in your phone's USB-C port. When you get home, simply plug the adapter into your computer's USB port and use it there. An irritation. I have a case on my phone and had to sand down a small portion of it to allow my giant fingers to touch the Yubikey Nano's small metal touchpad.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
