However, there are situations where users will be better off using the YubiKey Series 5 keys:
They require broader form factors and NFC supportThe users need to work across desktop and mobile devicesUsers need to support applications and services using a range of protocols such as OTP, FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn, and Smart card/PIVThey are securing legacy and modern environments offering a bridge to passwordless, utilizing non-FIDO protocols
I’ve had my hands on the YubiKey Bio for the past few days, and I have to say that they are an impressive bit of technology. The biometric reader is fast and super reliable, and the whole robust package is everything I’ve come to expect from Yubico.
The YubiKey Bio enables biometric login on desktop with all applications and services that support FIDO protocols, as well as offering out-of-the-box support for Citrix Workspace, Duo, GitHub, IBM Security Verify, Microsoft Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365, Okta, and Ping Identity.
The YubiKey Bio Series is available in USB-A and USB-C form factors, and keys are priced at $80 and $85, respectively. They are available for purchase from Yubico.
