Customers say

Customers like the performance, quality and security of the flash drive. For example, they mention it works great, is extremely reliable and tamper resistant. Some appreciate the NFC compatibility, saying it's a really nice feature that makes it super convenient to use with NFC enabled laptops. That said, opinions are mixed on the ease of use.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

43 customers mention33 positive10 negative

Customers like the nfc compatibility of the flash drive. They say the NFC support makes it super convenient for using it with the phone. They also say the features for NFC are there. Some mention that the challenge-response authentication works great in Linux, but not so great in OS X. The nFC version is nice for phones that are capable of it, but you still need the yubico.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the flash drive. Some mention it's simple to use with both their PC and phone to secure accounts, and easy to set up for the online platforms that support them. They love the convenience of the way it works and how you can duplicate it. However, others say that the advanced features make setups not straightforward, there's nothing intuitive about using this stuff, and it'll take a lot of time to apply the codes.

Great product but still need to be fairly tech savvy to use correctly
5 Stars
Great product but still need to be fairly tech savvy to use correctly
I've been using an older version of the Yubico key for a while now. This version is a really good upgrade from the earlier editions -- mostly because of the included NFC capability.I strongly recommend buying two of these at a time if you can. They'll still work, but having a backup stored somewhere safely can really make things easier if you ever lose your original. It fits on a keychain and I've never had a problem with the older one that I've had for about 10 years.The only downside to these is that not every website or company implements this as an option for 2-factor identification. It's simply bizarre to me that I can use this on quite a few websites with the extremely noticeable exception of *every* *single* financial institution that I do business with. (I know there are some banks that do, though).Once you set it up, it's easy to do. The only complaints that I get from most people is that it's just a hassle to have to log-in and take the extra 5 (maybe 10) seconds to pull out the key to log into your account.This is a must if you use a password manager. If all you're using is single-factor on your Dashlane or LastPass or 1Password you need to consider the extra security by taking this extra step (for whatever password manager you use -- and you really *need* to be using a password manager, btw).You do need to make sure to read the instructions which can be a little technical, but Yubico has a great set of tutorials that make it fairly simple (plus there are a ton of instructional videos on YouTube that are helpful as well). Or just get your techie friend to help.You don't really need to use this for every single website, and there are a lot of websites that don't use it, but for the ones where you have any personal or financial information, it's becoming more and more of an almost necessity.Before you buy, make sure to read up a little on how they work and that will let you know which one will work better for you.Overall, these are a great way to provide a fairly significant increase in your online security. Realize, however that it won't guarantee that you won't be part of a breach, but you at least can feel better about someone being able to take over your important accounts by guessing your password or stealing your phone/computer/tablet.If someone steals both, then all bets are off. That's why you keep the Yubico key on your keychain and your computer somewhere else.I'd recommend these for people who have a need for extra security online.Also, remember that (so far and contrary to what you may hear or read anecdotally), there hasn't been a single case where this type of 2FA has been breached when it's been used correctly.
