With the ever-present threat of falling victim to account takeovers and online attacks, it pays to protect your devices and the YubiKey does it in one touch.
The YubiKey by Yubico is a small USB like ‘key’ that protects more than 1,000 academic organisations, including 450 higher education institutions, and millions of users in over 160 countries.
The YubiKey secures faculty, students and staff with strong authentication and removes the need for passwords and provides even stronger protection through a process called two factor authentication.
With a simple touch, the YubiKey protects access to computers, networks, and online services. You can use a YubiKey to log in to your Google accounts, social media accounts, selected password managers, Microsoft accounts, selected gaming platforms and much more.
It is easy-to-use and is an affordable strong authentication option that helps protect students, faculty and staff against phishing attacks and account takeovers – on campus and off campus.
