Finally!!! Someone who know how to explain the actual Yubico app. I went through 17 videos before I found yours. Thank you so much for clearly explaining how this all works.
The yubikey also survives the washer I accidentally had to test this out and it still works like a charm 😂
I have been looking for a way to use my key for a while. You're the first person who has been able to explain how to utilize it correctly, and most importantly, easily.
Excellent presentation. At first I was confused about the backup key. In the IT industry a backup implies a copy, a duplicate of such as a file or the contents of a hard drive. But I eventually learned that in the case of a security key, a backup is not a copy, a duplicate, of the first key. A backup is a second key independent of the first key. It took me a bit to unravel how the backup term was used so differently in the context of security keys.
Thank you for your work on our security. As a man who teaches security, I am not finding a video on what I consider to be a core threat to a person's security, "MySpy" and other embedded spay software that may or is installed on peoples phones and computers. It is well understood and highly used by those "actors" who use them, the public is oblivious. To me, if you are talking security, this a a MUST presentation: 1) to create the awareness of what Spy software is. 2) How spy software works, is installed and can track you, intimately. 3) A. How to combat it? B. How to not allow it to be installed on your tech (iPhone / Laptop) C. How to detect it (very hard to do) D. How to get rid of it (regardless if you know you have it.) To me, this is a fundamental to any website / YouTube channel focussing on security. Maybe you already have a video on this topic, is so, I did not find it and I apologize. If you do not have this video, this is a MUST video and to me, number ONE for anybody taking iPhone / Laptop and Internet security. A MUST!!!
It is really cool and secure but... only bad side is: Holds only 32 TOTP entries. So if you have more that 32 you better off using Authy or Bitwarden premium TOTP to store non important TOTPs and keep the important ones on your ubikey. I learned the hard way :/
Thanks for the information, just purchased me 4 of those. Can you please let me know if I setup the yubikey as my authentication should I remove all other 2FA options? Let’s say remove the sms option? I’ll be glad to know. Thanks 🙏 again
Is there a Yubikey for dummies book? If not do offer consulting services fir using Yubikey beyond what your videos show? Thanks,
Same with my wife. I store my second wife in a secure storage that I'm not going to tell you about.
They just released the Yubikey Bio, Now it has a fingerprint reader and makes sure it’s actually you.
Wow i like your presentation perfect and straight to the point. you're not even hesitant to let us know that we can actually lock ourselves out our own systems if we not careful. Thanks for the heads up
I am yet to start using these keys. I am waiting for 2 keys from Yubico, a Yubi 5 NFC and a 5C NFC. From watching a few videos while waiting delivery it looks like it will be a steep learning curve.
I watched 4 videos on the Yubikey and still didn't understand how it should be used until I watched this video. Thank you!
I have a yubi key but I can only use it with Google and Microsoft for now. My brokerages, banks, medical site do not support it...yet. It a good idea but it is too early now.
Your email was shown at 8:07, I hope you can fix this because you were trying to blur it out before. if you pause it at the right time you get it.
I am confused. Do you need a different key for every gmail account, and youtube account? Also do you need a different key for each computer you have, or can one key be used on multiple computers?
Question. If I use the Yubikey can I eliminate the use of the authenticator app or do you recommend both?
Ok, maybe I'm missing something here. I'm an 80 year old grumpy old man. I'm computer literate but having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I understand that I can use the same key on multiple computers but what happens if I lose my key and someone finds it and plugs it into their computer....can they gain access to my accounts? I'm more paranoid now than ever. A Youtuber I watch has had his youtube site hacked twice in less than a month. I have a lot of accounts and it looks really time consuming to do this and then have to do it twice for a backup key....HELP>...lol
Great video, thanks. Can you tell me if I use a YubiKey to secure my Apple account and plan to use the Apple Password account -- (1) will I need to use the key to open the Passwords app, and (2) will I need to use the key every time the app pops-up to fill-in a password
