Security Key C NFC - Basic compatibility - Multi-factor authentication (MFA) security key and passkey, connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO certified

I am quite new to using security keys like Yubikey and after seeing a friends account get hacked causing them lots of grief I thought about my own security. Setting these up is quite straight forward you download the Yubico authenticator app and set a pin. The pin is what you will use when you log into websites with the key that support these and get that pin wrong upto 8 times the Yubico will factory reset itself. The reason for this is if somebody steals your key it gives you that added protection. You can either use a yubico security key as the final step in 2factor authentication on a supported website or a passkey on a supported website. Support for these is a bit patchy and different websites might implement them a little differently. It's worth watching some tutorials on Youtube if you're a beginner and interested in these. There's other YubiKeys that offer more features so best do your research and choose the one that meets your individual needs. The Security key here is the most basic but does what I personally want. Pros - Stronger protection than say SMS codes for 2FA authentication. Only you have the physical key! - Setting them up as Passkeys offers strong protection against your login credentials being stolen and is convenient. Microsoft is one place that's starting to move away from Passwords and offer passwordless logins. It sounds less secure but it really isn't. Phishing is one of the leading ways hackers gain your credentials. Cons - You ideally need at least two in case you lose one, so keep one or more for a spares. - You have to weigh up your own security needs but it might be worth having another way into your account if you do lose or damage them. Websites typically offer multiple 2FA methods to confirm it's you. Only you can decide on your needs and your security will only then be as strong as the lowest method attached to that given account - A little learning curve but not difficult as such, like I say watch some tutorials if you're new

They seem good quality and have been a good solution so far. It works well as both a hardware key and security key protected via a pin and physical presence. Ideally if you want to get rid of other authentication methods you. Need two incase you loose one. It's a shame there isn't a discounted 2 pack.

Improves my security and is great value for money. It doesn’t play nice with iOS or iPadOS, with it not working with my devices. But this is an Apple issue not Yubico. Works fine with my PCs.

The Yubico Security Key C NFC is a good value product (£30) for the price -- but there are some cons that come alongside it Now, it is fairly easy to use, but I feel that for newer users that haven't heard about a Security Key might get confused as I was slightly confused but worked it out in the end. It isn't clear what to download with the Yubikey. I think it isn't clear enough in my opinion of what is compatible with what with this key. I thought it could be compatible with Windows Login (e.g type in username & password and plug-in Yubikey) however to do that you need a FIDO2 key which this isn't, a newer model with Yubico which is the 5C has FIDO2. However, I was sad about it as I was looking forward to it; but could deal with. The security otherwise is amazing though, it isn't OTP but it saves your security/passkeys all in one area. I have tried the NFC using the Yubico Authenticator app and this is completely unbiased; I don't know if I got a defective model in terms of NFC or not because it genuinely just sucks to use the NFC and doesn't recognize with a newer iPhone Model. I have tried various phones, from flagship Samsung Phones to flagship Apple iPhones and still did not work Now, I have heard that this is waterproof (I wouldn't test it out) which seems and sounds brilliant. This is like a glass-fibre plastic that is very durable, doesn't get too many scratches when using with keys on a keyring. Overall, if you're just looking for security just to save Google Accounts or Microsoft; look no further. If you want more features such as OTP and want the Windows Login too I'd go for the newer model. I would rate it 2.5/5 stars if I could, but I'll give it 3

Great for security, setup was easy!

Truly awful setup now, overly complex, Microsoft just making things harder ( as they don't want you to use anything non Microsoft ), which has made the product awful and impossible to setup without a computer science degree. WHY it doesnt come already setup to basic use, well, ill never know USELESS

Great security

Bought a couple of these to secure my iCloud account. It was very simple to set up and works perfectly either by plugging in or using NFC. If you don't need all the added features and just want a hardware key to properly secure your iCloud or Google account etc, these are perfect

NFC, touch, USB-C. All good. You can also use iPhone’s NFC to authenticate with this security key. Expensive though; double the price of USA.

good quality
