This protects you from someone getting into your account if they somehow got access to your password. Online, 2FA means that you log into an account with your normal username and password, but it ALSO requires you to type in a code that gets texted to you, or you type in a code that is in an APP on your phone, or you plug one of these little devices into your device and that triggers the login. You know how when you use an ATM you need to put your card in the ATM them type in your PIN code? That ATM needs two pieces of information from you to give you money - the actual card, and the PIN code that's connected to it.
If this is your first 2FA rodeo - it's actually pretty simple. And today, I'm introducing my personal favorite type of 2FA - Yubikeys. Y'all know I'm slightly obsessed with 2 factor authentication and I want everyone in the world to understand why it's so beneficial. Since apps have to add support for it, consider it an investment in your future.Hey smores, I'm Shannon Morse, welcome to Morse Code. Plug it in and tap it to authenticate, then you can log into your compatible accounts. Plug it in, then tap the metal prongs on the side. An alert will appear telling you to plug the Yubico 5Ci in. Once you add your key, just open the 1Password app. In order to turn on two-factor authentication for your 1Password account, you’ll have to do it from the website. The app I used it most often is 1Password. Yubico has a list of services that work with its keys, like Twitter, Dropbox, and more. It works with the aforementioned Brave browser, as well as password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, and LastPass. Right now, there aren’t a lot of apps on iOS that support the Yubico 5Ci. Safari 13 will add support for them with the release of macOS Catalina. Browsers like Brave, Chrome, and Firefox support security keys. When it comes to authentication protocols, the Yubico 5Ci supports FIDO2, WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, OTP (one-time password), PIV (Smart Card), and OpenPGP in a single device, the YubiKey 5Ci delivers strong multi-factor (MFA), second-factor (2FA), and single-factor passwordless authentication. This greatly enhances the security of your accounts, because even if a hacker broke into your account, they would still need your security key to log in. This is true two-factor authentication, because once you add it to an account, you’ll need to plug it into your device to log in.
So what do I mean by a security key? It’s a device that gives you an extra layer of security authentication. You can use it with your iPhone, iPads with Lightning ports, and USB-C MacBooks (USB-C iPad Pros currently not supported). Launched last week, the Yubico 5Ci is the first security key with a Lightning connector.
