This was documented in a research paper by Google, describing the Google employee rollout to more than 70 countries. The ease of use and reliability of the YubiKey is proven to reduce password support incidents by 92%. With authentication speeds up to 4X faster than OTP or SMS based authentication, the YubiKey does not require a battery or network connectivity, making authentication always accessible. The YubiKey provides a simple and intuitive authentication experience that users find easy to use, ensuring rapid adoption and organizational security. Users have the broadest options for strong authentication including two-factor and multi-factor authentication.

Each key offers multi-protocol support including Yubico OTP, OATH HOTP, U2F, PIV, and OpenPGP. The YubiKey offers superior security by combining hardware-based authentication and public key cryptography to effectively defend against phishing attacks and eliminate account takeovers. This series of security keys are FIPS 140-2 validated (Overall Level 2, Physical Security Level 3.) and meet authenticator assurance level 3 (AA元) of NIST SP800-63B guidance. The YubiKey 5 FIPS Series is a hardware based authentication solution that provides superior defense against phishing, eliminates account takeovers, and enables compliance requirements for strong authentication.
