After using it for a few days, I will probably get the USB-A/NFC version for daily use and use this as my backup. My primary devices are a Pixelbook (two USB-C ports) and a Moto X4 running Android 9. The device apparently identifies itself as a keyboard when plugged into a port. Touching the gold/brass contacts on either side of the key inputs a string of cryptographic characters and a return. This is important because if you accidentally tap the contacts while in Gmail you'll get a bunch of new message windows pop up. I recommend not leaving the key plugged in when you're not actively using it because it is easy to bump the contacts accidentally, particularly while removing the key: they are where it's most natural to grip the key while pulling it out. Hopefully a future version could make these contacts a little less easy to bump unintentionally. Physically, it's small and doesn't add much bulk to my keychain, which I appreciate because I carry my keys in my front pocket and prefer my keyring to be as small as is practical. I am a little worried about lint and dust collecting in the connectors over time and degrading the connection, and am looking into options to cover the connectors. It seems like the most practical option for me is to keep the USB-A/NFC version on my keyring and use this USB-C key as my backup. It would be great in the future to see a durable, sealed USB-C version with NFC whose contacts can be covered while it's not in use. The Google, LastPass, and Duo instructions were clear and well-written. It takes a little bit of time the first time you set it up, and all of those services have some minor hiccups on the software UX side of things, but the Yubikey itself did everything it was supposed to. The only significant issue I experienced is that the Duo's web app used by my employer does not recognize the Android version of Chrome, which means I cannot use the key for mobile logins and have to use less secure and less convenient push notifications. All told, I'm happy with this purchase. Review: Convenient and Secure MFA Key for Everyday Professional Use - TL;DR: Ideal for MFA with major platforms, easy setup, perfect for daily professional use. I purchased this key mainly for multi-factor authentication with several popular online platforms, and I've found the setup and use to be pleasantly straightforward. Considering its efficiency, I'm planning to use a different version for my regular activities and keep this one as a backup. The key is recognized as a keyboard when plugged in, and touching its contacts inputs a secure code. Caution is advised though, as accidental touches can trigger unintended actions in certain apps. It's best not to leave it plugged in unnecessarily to avoid these mishaps. Its compact design is a major plus for me, as it adds very little bulk to my keychain. There is a slight concern about dust and lint affecting the connectors over time, so I'm exploring ways to protect them. A more robust, dust-resistant version in the future would be a great improvement. The integration process with the platforms I use was mostly seamless, with just a few minor interface hiccups. The only significant limitation I've encountered is with certain mobile app compatibilities, which restricts its use for mobile logins. In summary, this key has been a valuable addition to my tech arsenal, effectively balancing security and convenience in my daily professional routine. ## Features - POWERFUL SECURITY KEY: The YubiKey 5 is a versatile physical passkey that protects your digital life from phishing attacks.
