Yubikey 2FA hardware key Review

On line security is important now more than ever. A strong password is a must. For those sites that offer it 2FA (two factor authentication) should be a second must. Most sites offer SMS 2FA, which is better than nothing. But what do you do when you are ready to take your security to the next level this is when you want a security key.

In this video I will cover several such options from Yubico. My main 2FA key that I use on a daily basis is the Yubikey 5 NFC, want to know more? You will have to watch.
