Non Existent Customer Service - Also Just Plain Rude Shockingly bad, full-friction customer journey. Customer Service is non-existent for all practical purposes including initial purchase. I wanted to spend 15 minutes buying these security keys - I'm at the end of day 2 now and still haven't made the freaking purchase due to non-existent help from Yubico and their so-called resellers in the UK. The resellers don't actually sell anything, they refer you on to someone else. If you want to get a freaking headache then please go ahead and start your journey with these unhelpful, rude, time-wasting, arrogant people.

Great concept but do your research before buying This review relates specifically to the Yubikey 5Ci and the iPhone 14pro using IOS 17.1 in the UK. The 5Ci key doesn’t not have the NFC facility (contactless connection) therefore it has to be inserted into the lightening port. However it will not connect unless the case is removed before insertion. I appreciate cases vary but mine is a standard apple purchased case. (Rim thickness 1 or 2 mm!) Quite frankly in my view the inability to use NFC or the lightening port without removing the case renders the key impractical. This is not made clear when purchasing the key. Even if this is acceptable to you it seems that most financial / bank apps in the UK do not support the concept of the key yet. If you are inclined to buy the key it’s worth checking before hand that the services you wish to use support the Yubikey I purchased them (you need two) through Amazon and was given a refund. Yubikey were helpful up to a point but their support links are complex and cover a multitude of keys and devices. The concept is good perhaps things will improve.

Just works After being recommended by a friend, who has a PhD in Ai field, I got 2 (YubiKey FIPS Series) for myself. One for use and another for back-up if things go south. It has given me great mental peace. The device is small, easy to carry and very efficient to use. I am happy to have them around and working on the security problem. Recommended.

Solid 2FA I have been using the YubiKey for over 2 years now and it has saved me and my company from potential damage on multiple occasions. Just make sure to never lose your key ;)

Silence. Ordered on October 13th, received a tracking code from UPS and since several weeks no news! I will update this notice if I ever receive my order.
