Very Useful for Security
I was excited to try YubiKey for my laptop. Given how much personal and professional data I have on my laptop, I always liked the idea of double security authorization, but was intimidated on where to start and worried it would be overly complicated to install, set up, and use.

Hesitant to use again
Small, sleek design. Can easily go on a keychain without feeling like it will fall off.
I have never used a security key before.
I believe security is important and was looking forward to trying this out. However, I had significant issues. I have a Mac, and tried using with my Keeper account (password manager). It would not set up correctly, I even had my husband help...

Prefect for traveling
I travel a lot with my job and I always need access to the internet so when I was given the chance to try out the YubiKey 5C NFC security device thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was happy to do so.

Setup is lengthy
My overall impression of the YubiKey 5c NFC hardware-based MFA key is that it’s extremely hard to find answered to questions during the setup process. The manual is 130 pages. The main reason I was excited to get this key was because I wanted to setup my Apple phone or my banking accounts. Both in which this device does not support. The accounts I did try to setup I nee...

Useful and secure
I received this product from Stellar Panel as a product review opportunity. I recently had a professional situation where my data was part of an attempted international breach. It left me feeling exposed and nervous. This device gave me the security and protection I needed to feel confident in my data system. The physical presence of the device makes me feel more comfor...

Scams have become so common and frequent in this time of day. Why not keep your accounts protected with a tool that can fit into the palm of your hand. Simply plug in your YubiKey into your device's USB power source. It is easy to setup and begin using.

Easy to Use Security Key
This came to me at such a perfect time. I'm currently handling a lot of sensitive information from work as an owner and I'm constantly jumping from different computers other than my phone. All of my accounts require extra security and this item makes everything a breeze. Registering the device was very straight forward and took less than 5 minutes. The key lives on my k...

Secure and easy way to store passwords
The Yubikey 5C NFC was a score! Compact and easy to bring along. The device is sturdy and I havent had any connection issues.
The convenience of having a hardware MFA key has made things much easier for my husband and I. We can both utilize the key to securely access our accounts.

I am a huge iPhone user, my life is on my phone. Most people can probably say this. I have photos of everything from 1st birthdays to everyday funny moments. I want to always stay protected. As soon as I received this YubiKey 5C NFC I knew I was in good hands. From iCloud you can access everything on your phone from anywhere. I love that I don’t have to be nervous about...

Must have for extra security
This YubiKey 5C NFC has been a great addition to keeping my data secure. I'm not the most knowledgeable about technology, but my husband is a software engineer and I had him help me set this up. He has had no issues with using it, but for me there's definitely been a learning curve with using it. And I still am getting more familiar with it, so if you're like me and not...

Easy Increased Security
As part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I received the YubiKey 5C NFC. The instructions are easy to follow and it is compatible with many services such as Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram.
After first inserting the key into any USB port, it was ready to go. I first used the key with my Facebook app on my phone. The set up instructions were steep but step and easy...

Durable Security
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the YubiKey 5c NFC security device. It is a strong security authenticator that is easy to set up and use. It has a USB-C connector and the NFC feature that can be used with smartphones and tablets. If the USB-C and NFC cannot be used, an adapter could be used with it. I like that it is water-resistant, crush-r...

I received the YubiKey 5C NFC through the Stellar Product Testing in exchange for honest review. I have been using the YubiKey for a few weeks now and am thoroughly impressed for several reasons.

Login without the hassle
I'm not the most tech savvy person, but I do live in a techy savvy household thanks to my computer wizard of a husband. So, this is not going to be a super geeky review. I had a chance to review the UbiKey 5C NFC and it was provided to me from Stellar Product Testing Panel. I started by trying to set it up on my computer. I had to choose what service I would want to l...

I received this as a part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was excited about the idea of having an additional hardware based MFA key handy. With the increase in online phishing it’s always important to protect my identity and accounts at all costs.

Great but mostly for professionals
This little key is awesome. It's well built, feels tough, and works wonderfully. It takes a few minutes to get it set up, and can be confusing compared to using an authenticator app, but once it's set up, it works flawlessly. There are a lot of services that are compatible with the key, which is also nice. My biggest complaint is that it feels more for professionals. Ye...

Easy to set up even though I am not tech savvy
The YubiKey 5C NFC has been an impressive addition to my online security. Despite not being very tech-savvy, I found it easy to set up, especially with its USB-C capability which make it highly versatile. It adds a crucial layer of protection beyond passwords, making my accounts far more secure. Compared to SMS codes or authenticator apps, the YubiKey is both more secur...

MFA That You Will Not Hate
It is very easy to use, especially with a cellphone since nowadays most cellphones support NFC. I definitely feel more secure accessing my Gmail account with it since a lot of services these days are connected through your Google account. I definitely feel more at ease accessing a new service now.
