Yubico, the creator of the YubiKey, is the #1 security key that works with your favorite applications and services. Usernames and passwords are not enough to protect your accounts, and using a security key as two-factor authentication is a simple and proven method for protecting your identity, accounts, and devices. The YubiKey works with hundreds of services and applications, and getting started is easy – simply log in to the service you want to secure, check if it supports security keys, and follow the instructions to register your YubiKey. For added security, it's recommended to have a spare key registered in case of loss or theft.

The YubiKey 5 Series is Yubico's most versatile security key, supporting authentication to a wide range of services and applications using not only FIDO protocols but also OTP, OATH, and Smart card/PIV. It also comes in additional form factors, including Lightning and Nano, and can be used with the Yubico Authenticator app. The Security Key by Yubico, on the other hand, is the more affordable option that supports FIDO2/WebAuthn and FIDO U2F protocols only, which are used by common services such as Google and Microsoft accounts, Dropbox, Coinbase, and 1Password.
