YubiKey NFC - Two-Factor Authentication Security Key

When a user's phone cannot support an authenticator app, a security key is the solution for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

  • YubiKeys are compact USB devices that plug into a desktop or laptop computer USB port
  • Once set up, you'll enter a PIN, then push the button on the key to authenticate
  • YubiKeys meet Microsoft’s Modern Authentication hardware requirements
