YubiKey
What is YubiKey?
YubiKey is a physical security key used for authentication purposes. These hardware plug-in devices support FIDO authentication protocols namely Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) and Universal Authentication Framework (UAF). They help secure computers, networks, websites, and online profiles, without requiring software installation or a battery. Zoho uses U2F-based YubiKeys for multi-factor authentication.
