Product Description

The YubiKey Bio Series is the biometric authentication security key that delivers the convenience of biometric login with the added benefits of Yubico’s hallmark security, reliability and durability assurances. Biometric fingerprint templates are stored in the secure element that helps protect them against physical attacks. The result is a single, trusted hardware-backed root of trust delivering a seamless login experience across different devices, operating systems, and applications. With support for both biometric- and PIN-based login, the YubiKey Bio Series leverages the full range of multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities outlined in the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standard specifications. And, helps drive the adoption of safer passwordless sign-in so everyone can be more secure and efficient.

Prevent Man-in-the-Middle Attacks and Eliminate Account Takeovers

Any software downloaded on a computer or phone is vulnerable for malware and hackers. The YubiKey is based on hardware with the authentication secret or fingerprint stored on a separate secure chip built into the YubiKey, with no connection to the internet so it cannot be copied or stolen. Additionally, centralized servers with stored credentials can be breached. With the YubiKey, the data is encrypted with strong public key cryptography where only the public key is stored on the server, eliminating risks.

Easy, Fast and Reliable

In keeping with Yubico’s design philosophy, the YubiKey Bio Series does not require any batteries, drivers, or associated software. The key seamlessly integrates with the native biometric enrollment and management features supported by various FIDO2/WebAuthn-enabled services, making it quick and convenient for users to adopt a phishing-resistant passwordless login flow.

Reduce IT Operational Costs

The ease of use and reliability of the YubiKey is proven to reduce password support incidents by 92%. This was documented in a research paper by Google, describing the Google employee rollout to more than 70 countries. Deployments are faster and cost less with the YubiKey’s industry leading support for numerous protocols, systems and services.

Easy to Deploy

IT can deploy the YubiKey Bio security keys in days, not months. With integration with many WebAuthn-enabled systems, as part of a broad ecosystem, the Yubico’s biometric authentication key can help organizations accelerate their journey to a stronger security posture and employ cutting edge authentication approaches such as passwordless MFA and strong 2FA.

Trusted Authentication from the Leader

Yubico is the principal inventor of the WebAuthn/FIDO2 and U2F authentication standards adopted by the FIDO alliance and is the first company to produce the U2F security key and a multiprotocol FIDO2 authenticator. YubiKeys are produced in our offices in the USA and Sweden, maintaining security and quality control over the entire manufacturing process.
