With support for both biometric and PIN-based login, Yubikey Bio leverages the full range of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities described in the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standard specifications.
Secure connection to Microsoft Azure Active Directory accounts using Yubikey Bio.
In keeping with Yubico's design philosophy, the Yubikey Bio will require no batteries, drivers or associated software.
The key seamlessly integrates with the native biometric enrolment and management features supported in the latest versions of Windows 10 and Azure Active Directory, enabling users to quickly and easily adopt a phishing-resistant passwordless login flow.
Thanks to close collaboration between engineering teams, Yubico is bringing strong hardware-based biometric authentication to market to provide a seamless experience for its customers.
This new innovation will help drive the adoption of more secure passwordless login, so that everyone can be more secure and productive.
Over the past few years, Yubico has worked with Microsoft to help steer the future of passwordless authentication through the creation of the FIDO2 and WebAuthn open authentication standards.
The partnership has built Yubikey integrations with the full suite of FIDO2-enabled Microsoft products, including Windows 10 with Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Edge with Microsoft accounts.
Today, Yubico is building on this momentum with Microsoft's announcement to extend support for FIDO2 security keys like Yubikey to hybrid environments.
Enterprise users will be able to authenticate to integrated Active Directory resource applications on-premises, in addition to providing seamless single sign-on (SSO) to cloud and SAML applications.
