It supports LastPass & Google & 100+ websites. YubiKey takes all this security one step further because it is a physical USB key. This code got sent to a mobile device or email account.

It has meant whenever logging into an online account with a username and password, a 6-8 digit code was also needed to login successfully. Not so for me, because my password is very strong and I’ve had 2FA (Two factor authentication) setup for the majority of my accounts including LastPass.

If this password was compromised it would be the end of the world for some people. This could be seen as a major con if ones password was not strong enough. The fact is LastPass has a master password that protects everything. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user’s identity for a login. What does multi-factor authentication mean? I recently purchased the Yubikey, which compliments this awesome password manager and other online websites. Last August I did a post on the password manager Last Pass, you can read about it here.
