Fortify your digital life and protect your most valuable online accounts with the Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC, the gold standard in physical security keys. In an era of constant digital threats, passwords alone are no longer enough. The YubiKey provides a powerful, physical barrier against phishing, account takeovers, and other sophisticated cyberattacks. By requiring your physical presence to authenticate, it ensures that only you can access your accounts, even if your username and password have been compromised. This single, durable device simplifies and secures your login experience across hundreds of services, from email and social media to enterprise applications and developer tools.

The YubiKey 5 NFC is engineered for modern security needs, combining hardware-based authentication, public key cryptography, and multi-protocol support to defend against threats in a way that mobile-based authenticators cannot. Its simple, touch-based authentication is incredibly fast and intuitive—simply insert the key into a USB-A port and touch the gold contact, or tap it on an NFC-enabled mobile device for seamless, on-the-go security.
