What some people don't know is that Yubikeys are programmable. You set a long touch to produce up to a 60 digit static password. I use this as part of my password manager's master password, together with a short phrase of my own. Together the master password has two inputs: one that I type, and one I don't. Remember to make backups.

To clarify my question, will one yubikey suffice, or would I need two?

[TheOscylO]

You mentioned banking. Which bank does support yubikey as second factor?

[GalenZacharyRobbins]

I dig Yubikeys, is the main selling point of the 5C NFC over the 5 NFC the fact that it uses USB-C? I always imagined that it would make the most sense to have the 5 NFC and have the USB-A for authenticating on my desktop and the NFC for authenticating on mobile devices. That being said, definitely hoping for USB-C to become more standard across the board.

[Swift_Water]

So do you recommend having two keys in case you lose one?

[ranjanty]

The 5C NFC only works on a phone? Or is there a adapter to use on PC or laptop?

[HAG]

Is it possible to buy Yubico yubikey 5 NFC USB-A and get a spare USB-C?

[JerryDoe]

Many reviews do not mention the high failure rate of these Yubi keys, i recommend to see the Amazon reviews. Also they do not mention you need to BUY 2 KEYS
Yes, they force you to set up a backup key so you HAVE TO BUY 2 KEYS. It does not allow you to setup the key without having a 2nd key.

[mariosilva]

How does this compare to the Google Titan keys?

[Psoewish]

When you started talking about price I genuinely expected something like this to easily run for 100+, at 55 this is quite literally a nobrainer, that's dirt cheap for the kind of functionality this offers.

Holy cow, you're voice sounds AMAZING! What microphone do you use?

[thetrushocker]

I saw a ted talk years ago on NFC hackers. they use a smart phone to code a couple hundred characters into it that can take NFC info from devices they simply WALK past. is a crypto key safe from this attack? Edit: this video was mainly discussing the vulnerability of NFC chips in our credit/debit cards. I assume it can be used for anything that carries an NFC chip in it, with valuable data.

[LolkeDijkstra]

What if someone stole my yubikey? Does it actually verify the authentic user by means of fingerprint?

[jerrysanders]

Does the tap and go work with IPhone 10R or only 12 and newer?

[athdakimsinhalen]

My phone do not have nfc feature😔So how can i use this yubi key 5c on my android 10 phone?

[RoninJune]

An you use this for something as simple as logging into my my laptop?

[hurzak]

Does iit plug into any Android phone? Does it plug into the charging port? Can't get any information.

[LayneNguyen]

Wish I knew about these a long time ago. I just bought 2 of them. Found them on Ebay for $30 each w/ $5 shippping.

[lordfolgers]

Hey Hashoshi! One question: what if I lose/break it?! You talked about a backup, but can you login to Yubikey account and deactivate it? I did a little research but can’t get a clear answer. Thanks for all you do, you’re the man!
