And it will still work?** A: It would probably work, but they also sell them that have USB-C connectors, so I would just by one of those instead. **Q: There is another one on here for $50. Yubikey5 , besides this being 50% cheaper , are these the same keys?** A: No. The YubiKey 5 has more functionality than the Security Key. The Security Key only supports FIDO U2F / FIDO 2. The YubiKey supports much wider range of authentication methods, but if you only need the ones supported by this key then you can save a lot instead of buying YubiKey 5. **Q: Does this plug into a regular USB port?** A: It only fill 1/2 the USB slot, but it works as advertised. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick MFA Login Without the Hassle *by J***G on July 25, 2026* I bought this for MFA authentication, and it has worked flawlessly. Authentication is fast and reliable, and the build quality feels solid. If you want a simple hardware security key that just works, this is a great choice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good security passkey *by C***R on May 25, 2026* Works really well. We found it not difficult to setup at all ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enhanced Security at Your Fingertips: A Review of the YubiKey 5 NFC *by S***E on March 14, 2024* Side note - I use the open-source BitWarden password manager, which supports Yubikeys. BitWarden is free on multiple devices like PC, Mac, Linux, and your smartphone - for some of the bells and whistles like supporting a YubiKey you have to upgrade to their $10 a year plan, totally reasonable and you should support this company, they are great and my favorite password manager. Now - on to the Yubikey itself. One of the great selling points is that you cannot log on to services that support Yubikey (e.g. your bank, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) if you do not have physical possession of the Yubikey. If someone happened to obtain your User ID and password somehow, they still wouldn't be able to log in thanks to the Yubikey, so that is peace of mind. Speaking of peace of mind, do yourself a favor and buy 2 because you're going to want to store the backup key somewhere safe and easily accessible in case you ever lose your primary key. It is not technically necessary, but it would be an extra hassle to try and prove to the bank or other service that you are the actual client because you won't be able to log in without the key, so there is no easy password reset that you might be used to. Each company has different procedures if you have to call them if you lost your only Yubikey, for all they know you might be a leet hacker trying to social engineer them, so having the backup key gives peace of mind and you can avoid that problem if you are prone to losing things. In a digital world filled with passwords as long as the Great Wall and security measures more complicated than a Rubik's Cube, finding a solution that balances convenience and protection is a quest worthy of a tech-savvy knight. Enter the YubiKey 5 NFC – a pocket-sized guardian that brings a touch of magic to the realm of online security. At first glance, the YubiKey 5 NFC may seem like a humble USB stick, but beneath its unassuming exterior lies a treasure trove of security features that would make even the most paranoid IT guru grin like a Cheshire cat. With support for a myriad of authentication protocols, including FIDO U2F and FIDO2, OTP, PIV, and smart card, this little key unlocks a world of possibilities for safeguarding your digital kingdom. But what truly sets the YubiKey 5 NFC apart from its peers is its Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. With a wave of your hand (or a tap of your phone), you can seamlessly authenticate with your YubiKey using compatible mobile devices, turning your smartphone into a digital Excalibur that vanquishes would-be hackers with ease. Setting up the YubiKey 5 NFC is as simple as pie – even for those whose tech skills are as rusty as an ancient server rack. Just plug it into a USB port or tap it against your NFC-enabled device, follow the prompts to register it with your accounts, and voila! You're one step closer to digital invincibility. The YubiKey 5 NFC is a game-changer in the world of online security – a trusty sidekick for the modern-day digital hero. So, whether you're a code-slinging developer, a data-wrangling sysadmin, or just someone who wants to keep their online accounts safe and sound, the YubiKey 5 NFC is here to save the day (and your passwords). Final note - regular 2FA (two-factor authentication) of the type that sends you a text message with a ~6-digit code can be compromised by "SIM jacking" i.e. a hacker calls and socially engineers your cell phone plan provider like T-Mobile, AT&T, etc., and convinces them that the hacker is you, and you want to transfer your cell service to a new SIM card because you lost yours. The cell providers don't always do a great job in this situation and have been known to transfer your account to the hacker and their SIM card. I guess you would have to be a high-value target for something like this to happen, but it's good to know that the Yubikey protects you from this type of attack and has your back. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yubico - Security Key NFC - Basic Compatibility - Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Security Key, Connect via USB-A or NFC, FIDO Certified - Yubico - YubiKey 5C NFC - Two-Factor authentication (2FA) Security Key, Connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts - Yubico - YubiKey 5C Nano - Multi-Factor authentication (MFA) Security Key and passkey, Connect via USB-C, Compact Size, FIDO Certified - Protect Online Accounts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://samoa.desertcart.com/products/518466069-security-key-nfc-basic-compatibility-multi-factor-authentication-mfa-security](https://samoa.desertcart.com/products/518466069-security-key-nfc-basic-compatibility-multi-factor-authentication-mfa-security) --- *Product available on Desertcart Samoa* *Store origin: WS* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
