Review: Since I work in IT, let me just say one thing. After installing this for a few users, together with our ani-virus it has prevented phishing attacks 100%. We plan to provide this on more users. I will be listing things I like about the key and some things I dislike/recommendations in hopes that this will help you make a decision. Overall, I highly recommend this key and wish I would have gotten it sooner. Likes: - Made to stay in a laptop. (Do not loose the laptop) - It's easy to configure and really secure. - Small, discrete and easy to cary around. - Made in USA and Sweden. - If you have security concerns with Google or other companies. - it is not a google product, thus they will not have access. - It works with most sites and if configured properly can be used to sign-in to windows, mac or your network. YouTube will have several tutorials on how to do this. - Compared to RSA security keys, you get this at a bargain. - It's a consumer version so it is not overly complicated. - There are several security/authentication methods you may use. But, the simplest one is using 2FA (Two Factor Authentication). You can use this without giving your phone number or answering security questions (which we forget). Dislikes/Recommendations: - Not every site supports yubikey - There are additional software used to manage but takes a while before you can understand what these can do or how to use it properly. - Made for a laptop so it may be a bit difficult to pull it out. It's basically made to be kept in the laptop. 'Just don't loose the laptop. You need to attach a string or a keychain so you can pull it out easier from the usb slot. - From time to time you need to remove the key and re-insert it into the USB slot. There are also 2 points you need to consider. * Before purchasing the key, make sure that the site you will be using it supports this. Here is a list of sites which supports the key. The list keep growing https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/ * You need to purchase 2 keys. Same a a physical door key, if you loose one, you have a duplicate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how does the "touch" mechanism work? its so tiny. theres no button. i dont even see room for a button**
A: Yes I thought the same thing. There is no mechanical button. There is a tiny light with a small sensor that recognizes contact. Your not actually pushing so much as lightly touching. I’ve been using mine for about a year now and trust me it does really work.

**Q: Is the 5 nano a good backup choice for the 5 nfc?  also would these two be enough to enable google advanced protection?**
A: Yes to both!

**Q: Most accounts that allow these typically also require a less secure backup option if you lose your key.  So can't hackers just bypass the Yubikey?**
A: There's usually an option to use something besides the yubikey, however, I would hope you've picked out another password that's as strong as you can get it. Or, on the other side you could get another yubikey and register both of them. I actually have two keys and a nano. One key for the wife and the nano for my main pc, the third is around my neck on a stout cord.

**Q: Description says "designed to stay in the port so you can stay connected and secure anywhere." So if my laptop is stolen then so is my security key?**
A: Two answers -- the technical answer, and the practical one:

Technical: Your security key would be stolen.  At that point, you would use a backup method to connect to your accounts (from another computer) and you would disable your lost YubiKey as a valid MFA/2FA method.  

Practical: I believe the spirit of the original question is more around "if my laptop is stolen, and my YubiKey is in it, can't the thief access my secured accounts?".  And, the answer to that is "technically, if the laptop thief also knows your account password, they would be able to use the YubiKey and get past the second factor of authentication when logging in".  In all likelihood though, the thief just wants your laptop hardware.  The YubiKey purpose is really to protect your accounts from being logged into by a nefarious hacker, online somewhere around the world who somehow has your compromised username/password combination.  The likelihood that the laptop thief and the online hacker are collaborating is pretty low unless you are an international spy, dignitary, billionaire, or other "high value target".  But if that describes you and you use a laptop, best to try one of the more removable YubiKey options.
