Comparison YubiKey 5C NFC YubiKey 5 NFC YubiKey 5 Nano YubiKey 5C Nano YubiKey 5C YubiKey 5Ci Technical specifications Review: Very, very powerful - I won't mince my review of these: these are by far and away the best USB hardware crypto tokens I have every used. They can speak gnuk and ed25519, and thus can do the crypto for all your SSH logins and gpg, including git commits. Because of the hardware capacitive button, leaving them plugged in permanently is not a security risk, as even nation state actors who own your computer cannot physically activate the token. They work beautifully, without driver install, on Windows, Linux, MacOS and even Android and ChromeOS. In short, they are a one stop solution to all of it. That was the good. There is also the bad: unless you are doing U2P or Fido or something that the installed utility automates for you, expect to spend several hours researching the internet to figure out how to configure these properly. The documentation IS out there, but it's spread around, and there will be a fair bit of head scratching until you figure it out for the actually far more useful use cases which these will do, but for which nobody has automated the configuration for you yet. As much as all the manual configuration with gnuk, including telling the token to enable its capacitive button per gnuk crypto operation, is a pain, once it's done then it's done. The tokens "just work" thereafter. One major tip I learned the hard way: never buy one of these, always buy at least two. Configure both, and put one of them somewhere safe. Then if you lose the other one, or one breaks, you aren't locked out of *everything*. Review: Works well - I have a few of these, but this one sits in my Mac constantly. There's a real peace of mind that comes with using a device like this as it completely locks down the account that you are using with it, in my case I use it with a number of different services, the main one being BitWarden where I store my passwords. I've not had any issues with the device, you touch it and it types the OTP as if you'd entered it yourself. Well worth the money, especially this USB-C version if you're a laptop user. ## Features - Works with 1000+ Accounts: It’s compatible with popular accounts like Google, Microsoft, and Apple. A single YubiKey 5C Nano secures 100+ of your favorite accounts, including email, password managers, and more. - Fast & Convenient Login: The YubiKey 5C Nano is designed to stay plugged into your device via USB-C. Simply tap it to authenticate. No batteries, no internet connection, and no extra fees required. - Most Secure Passkey: Supports FIDO2/WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP/HOTP, Smart card (PIV), and OpenPGP. That means it’s versatile, working almost anywhere you need it. - Yubico Authenticator App: Compatible with the safest authenticator app experience across mobile and desktop. Built to Last: Made from tough, waterproof, and crush-resistant materials. Made in Sweden with the highest security standards. - Primary & Spare Keys: Just like having a spare house key, we recommend buying two YubiKeys—one for daily use and one as a spare. That way you’ll never get locked out of your accounts. Note: Latest firmware is not assured when purchasing via desertcart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HBTBJ5S | | Best Sellers Rank | 502 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 1 in USB Gadgets | | Box Contents | 1 product | | Brand | Yubico | | Brand Name | Yubico | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Mobile, Office, Tablet | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,480 Reviews | | Flash Memory Type | USB memory stick | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060408461518 | | Hardware Connectivity Technology | USB Type A, USB Type C | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Item Weight | 5 Grams | | Manufacturer | Yubico | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5060408461518 | | Model Name | YubiKey 5C Nano | | Model Number | 5060408461518 | | Model name | YubiKey 5C Nano | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Product Features | Crush Resistant, Water Resistant | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Special feature | Crush Resistant, Water Resistant | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yubico - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Special feature:** Crush Resistant, Water Resistant ## Images ![YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication USB Security Key, Fits USB-C Ports - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password, FIDO Certified USB Password Key, Extra Compact Size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31xyjb10HSL.jpg) ![YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication USB Security Key, Fits USB-C Ports - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password, FIDO Certified USB Password Key, Extra Compact Size - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UvDGzmzqL.jpg) ![YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication USB Security Key, Fits USB-C Ports - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password, FIDO Certified USB Password Key, Extra Compact Size - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BGZzdvFcL.jpg) ![YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication USB Security Key, Fits USB-C Ports - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password, FIDO Certified USB Password Key, Extra Compact Size - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y7MIU6kLL.jpg) ![YubiKey 5C Nano - Two Factor Authentication USB Security Key, Fits USB-C Ports - Protect Your Online Accounts with More Than a Password, FIDO Certified USB Password Key, Extra Compact Size - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B7zm0GKdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work as a two-factor authentication method for signing into outlook.com? If so, which browsers are supported?** A: Sure does. In fact with Edge you can setup password-less logon to outlook.com. with chrome and Firefox you can just use it as a second factor after the username and password. **Q: Does this have any kind of backup in case you lose it like some software based 2FA does? Or is it game over if it goes wandering?** A: You use this device as a 2 factor authorization which works with 3rd party software which you purchase separately .It has no software itself. It simply contains a chip which generates a Code which your software recognizes and as it needs to be Physically pressed by a human being it is not possible for hackers to program software to activate it. If you lose it you simply deactivate your device in you software of choice. For example you could use it with a password manager software which you purchase separately. To login into a software you use a password , that is the 1st factor of Authorization, then you insert your Key and press the button , that is the second factor.So if someone gets hold of your password they still can't login in without your stick. It's almost Bullet proof if you ask me. If you lose your Yubikey and wished to deactivate the Yubikey you would do so via a mobile phone which you used to setup your software in the first place. For example you would receive an SMS or Email depending on the Software producer. **Q: Are these keys available to buy in England, they all seem to come from the US or EU with very long delivery times in many cases and no warranty.** A: I bought my first two keys from Yubico UK through Amazon last year but don’t know why they don’t appear here anymore. I bought my third key on Amazon which I think was through Amazon EU. It didn’t take that long to arrive, maybe a week or less. The only other option I can see is if you click on ‘see other sellers’ section and there are UK sellers listed but could be more expensive. Hope this helps. **Q: Can this be used in a normal usb-a port with an adaptor?** A: Thanks for your interest. Yes, it can be used with the correct adaptor, but we also offer USB-A keys (Yubikey 5 NFC) which may work better for your needs? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HBD71HL?ref=myi_title_dp ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very, very powerful *by M***S on 10 May 2020* I won't mince my review of these: these are by far and away the best USB hardware crypto tokens I have every used.
