How the YubiKey works
Register your YubiKey
To use the YubiKey, go to the Security Settings of a supported service and select two-factor authentication.
Tap on phone
On a computer, insert the YubiKey into a USB-port and touch the YubiKey to verify you are human and not a remote hacker.
Tap on phone
For NFC-enabled Android phones, just tap a YubiKey 5 NFC against the phone to complete authentication. Hold the key to the phone for secure authorization.
Choose your YubiKey
YubiKey comes in four different form factors depending on your needs. The key chain form factor is designed to keep YubiKey with you. The Nano form factor is small enough to stay in your computer’s USB port. There is also a choice between USB-A and USB-C form factors.
