Protect yourself from account takeovers with the efficient, multi-protocol YubiKey 5C NFC. Go passwordless with our NFC capable security key today.

Hey everyone,

I am currently using an old(er) HYPERSECU FIDO key, USB-A with a button, and I am looking to

  • secure my phone as well (NFC) and, if possible
  • add biometric authentication to the mix.

Are there good alternatives or better: upgrades to the YubiKey which do support NFC as well as biometrics and come with a USB-C?

Thanks for your time 👋

    I know yubikey is the biggest in the market and it’s always good to have alternates but is there a reason you don’t want them?

    I thought their security was pretty good and haven’t heard of any breaches.

      May be similar issue as mine. Yubico has pretty awful on-device password support, but for MFA it works. With yubico you’re better off thinking of per-site passphrases that you keep in memory in addition to their one-click password entry, so it gets memory heavy.

        My main thing is my paaword manager is protected by 2fa…maybe not 100%secure granted, but I am not a state level actor and have no major money/property to steal. That’s probably why I have no similar issues.

    Out of left field, but take a look at Trezor. They specialize in cryptocurrency hardwallets, but by extension, they also offer password/2fa functionality on their devices. No biometrics* that I’m aware of, but PIN protection is mandatory.

    Nice suggestions, thank you very much, everyone.

    So as I see it, there is no jack of all trades here, no device supporting modern encryption standards, having biometrics and NFC support and is best case made in Germany, at the moment. 🤓

    I went for a YubiKey last night, I am sure it is good enough. 😅 And thanks again for your suggestions.
