Yubico Yubikey 5C NFC Flash Drive (Pack of 1), USB

Well built and works flawlessly. Costly as hell.

The media could not be loaded. About this security key:This is one of the latest Yubikeys to be launched. It is also the costliest one (in India). This is the enterprise grade security key with features such as fido, totp, hotp, smartcard, etc. It has NFC and usb-c interface for connection.Why I bought this Yubikey:Being in the IAM field it made sense to buy the enterprise grade security key. I have an iPhone so NFC helps there. And I chose usb-c because most of the modern laptops have atleast one usb-c port. The Yubikey 5 NFC has a usb-a port and is only a few hundred rupees cheaper, so it makes sense to buy this one (Yubikey 5c NFC). I can also connect it to android phones having usb-c port. Sometimes, the seller drops the price from 7,800 to around 6,800. That’s usually when you should buy this Yubikey. Plus if there’s any card discount going on, it will be even cheaper for you. However, Yubikeys in india are very costly. You can get TWO Yubikey 5c NFC for 110$ in the US, which is roughly the cost of one key in India.Is this Yubikey for you?If you only want to secure your digital accounts like fb, gmail, instagram, etc. go for the consumer grade Yubikey (the blue one). You’ll get it for around 4k rupees. If you want to do more, and use a key for windows login, smartcard based login, buying Yubikey 5/5C NFC makes more sense.

I have been now using this for a while and so far it has been working without any issues on Windows. On Mac, there might be some applications which supports security key but when used it has issues for example Discord on Mac is unable to authenticate with security key (for now). Please review the list of applications supported before you purchase.

Its good

The key is very effective. Been using it as my daily driver.

This is a very expensive product, but given the quality, features and the compatibility it offers, I cannot complain

I bought this item with high expectations. I needed the device to protect my AWS, Azure, Microsoft and Gmail accounts. The product that I have received is outdated and obsolete.Let me explain. The product's firmware version was update last year in 2024 from Ver 5.4 to 5.7. Ver 5.4 severely restricts the functionality of the device. Due to security reasons the firmware cannot be updated by the user.Let me explain the disadvantages of 5.4 Ver firmware.1. The onkey credential storage limit is restricted to 25 as compared to 100 for the 5.7 version. This by itself is a huge dealbreaker2. The old version has limited pin handling and management features as compared to the new version3. The 5.4 version supports partial FIDO2 credential management via NFC whereas in 5.7 it is vastly improved.There are a number of other disadvantages of the old firmware (5.4) as compared to 5.7. I could go on. But im sure the picture here is clearThis is an expensive device and if i am going to pay a kings ransom then i should get the latest device.Please do your research before buying. I do not recommend this product.

Older Model, not the latest firmware
