As a newcomer to physical 2FA options, this is one of the best videos I have seen to explain everything about setup, backups, and what the backup codes do. Great work!
I was searching from last 24 hours about all the information of a security key and almost saw more than 100 videos but never satisfied through any videos but through your videos i got all my answers. you explained very well. You put your 100% effort and that clarify all our doubts through a single video, the point that i never thought that anyone would think about that, you also answered that too, that shows how much efforts you put in your videos. I wanted to write more appreciation about your work here, but let me skip all that. By the way A big thanks for educating us and you do a good job through your videos.
Thanks for keeping it simple. Appreciate you didn't say just "Click here, then click this and click that button to finish"
Bro should we also remove the backup phone number from google account? Because the hacker can also use the phone number as a backup
Jesus man you answered all of my questions and you explain the topic so well you have a new sub(:
Thanks!
With the ncf demo starting at 14:35, I don't see you pushing the button. I thought that might be how it couldn't just be used by a very nearby hacker. Is it that it MUST be touching your phone? And further perhaps also detecting that the device is being touched/held to the phone? Thanks for the video, and addressing the concern I'd long had of a key being a single point of failure. Wasn't aware of the support by apps for multiples, and of even using the same QR reg code for each.
one of the best guides out there ! Thank you!
One of the best videos on YouTube on Yubico Tutorial♥️👌🏼
For my fellow LastPass password manager users, you can enable a Yubikey to act as your master password and enable the "require re-entering master password for this site" option on a site-by-site basis in your LP password vault. So, you can still auto-fill your randomly generated passwords as usual, with the added security of a Yubikey. Or if you're an IT admin you can integrate Yubikeys into Windows logon via Duo Security (another 2fa provider) integration into Active Directory. Great added security for laptops that frequently leave the office. Physical protection for single sign-on (SSO) ecosystems too (email, timeclocks, file servers, SharePoint, etc.).
Wish I would have found this a few days ago! Great explanation of product usage. Will continue with your Crypto Video!
Hi Tario, thanks for the tutorial. You show how to set up the yubikey but have you made a video showing how it's used daily? How it enables to login to many sites without the hassle of phone / SMS codes, email codes, etc... I think the idea behind the yubikey is improved security but also to save tons of time by being far more convenient for the user to just tap on his key or even doing nothing but just have it plugged or being read by NFC.
thumb drive last resort tip is very smart. thank you for putting this tutorial together.
Tario...this video is great...BUT, I just got a yubikey 5 nfc and I don't understand how to setup the key for initial use right out of the box??? I put the key in the usb and nothing...there must be some software or something for setting it up for the FIRST time??? I'm using Windows 11 desktop and laptop computers and also an iPhone. Maybe a video on how START...???
Why would you use the security key to run the OTP protocol? Reading the security key is so much faster. The only reason I could understand doing this would be IF the service only supports OTP and not yubi. If you’re forced to use the OTP protocol I’m assuming using it with the security key as opposed to using an authenticator app?
Hey Tario, thanks for this great video.bery helpful. Just 2 x questions. 1) Can I use the yubico app on my iphone for otp's without the yubikey or not? 2) If I want to secure my families devices too can I do that with my yubikey or do I need to buy one for each person?
Very comprehensive. Thanks.
Great info. questions? do you need to stepup (2) yubikey 5C NFC & yubikey 5 NFC + a yubikey authenticator for my iphone, ipadpro, laptop and PC? Next - do you need to keep one yubikey with you at all times and the other in another secret place??
Curious question. Many laptops come with smart card readers. Do smart cards function exactly the same way or is it different? My guess is if it was different-that difference would be that it might've been designed for local hardware/OS security back when this wasn't nearly as much of a threat as it is today. This Yubikey appears to have online account security in mind and ultimately succeeds in what Microsoft failed to with TPMs. TPMs have nothing with Google accounts which throws off the need for it.
