Yubico launches the first biometric key
The Yubico team is delighted to give you a sneak preview of the long-awaited Yubikey bio.
Yubikey Bio is the first key to support fingerprint recognition for simple and effective MFA authentication. By combining biometrics and MFA authentication, it offers an advanced, fast, and reliable method while ensuring maximum protection for your data.
Biometric login & MFA authentication
The Yubikey Bio offers the convenience of biometric login with the added benefits of security, reliability, and durability guarantees from manufacturer Yubico.
Biometric credentials are stored in the secure element, protecting them from physical attacks.
The result?
A single, reliable hardware-based root of trust that provides a seamless login experience across different devices, operating systems, and applications.
With support for both biometric and PIN-based login, the Yubikey Bio leverages the full range of multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities outlined in the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standard specifications.
Secure connection to Microsoft Azure Active Directory accounts using Yubikey Bio.
In line with Yubico's design philosophy, the Yubikey Bio will require no batteries, drivers, or associated software.
The key integrates seamlessly with the native biometric enrollment 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.
Through close collaboration between engineering teams, Yubico is bringing robust 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 with the goal of keeping everyone secure and more productive.
Withtwo-factor MFA authentication, you add an extra layer of protection to the password through MFA authentication and fingerprint verification to verify the user's identity.
Over the past few years, Yubico has worked with Microsoft to help drive the future of passwordless authentication through the creation of the FIDO2 and WebAuthn open authentication standards.
The partnership has enabled Yubikey integrations with the full suite of FIDO2-compatible Microsoft products, including Windows 10 with Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Edge with Microsoft accounts.
Today, Yubico continues this momentum with Microsoft's announcement to extend support for FIDO2 security keys, such as the Yubikey, to hybrid environments.
Enterprise users will be able to authenticate to on-premises Active Directory-integrated resource applications, in addition to providing seamless single sign-on (SSO) to cloud and SAML applications.
