Can't use it
I had used Yubico a few years ago and was contacted by a fund company that I needed to upgrade. Then, the fund company decided to no longer accommodate 2FA with a pass key. Disappointed.

Hello! Sorry to hear about your disappointment. For our 'Yubico Login for Windows' program you would need a YubiKey from our 5 series, as the Security Key series is FIDO only. I’d recommend reaching out to our support team—they should be able to assist you with an RMA!

Unprotected electrical contacts
Nice key, well built, but a critical piece of hardware with unprotected electrical contacts seems short sighted. Seems it's meant to be put on a keychain as suggested by the manufacturer, but contacts left open to grinding against keys, dirt in your pocket, etc is negligent.

Thank you for the review and for the provided feedback! Please note that The YubiKey have been IP68 rated under IEC standard 60529, by an ISO 17025 certified lab. They’ve been tested for dust and water protection. Regarding carrying a Security Key on a keychain, my personal experience is that it works great! I’ve had my Keys on my keychain for years and they still work!
With that said, we do have a one year warranty period where we would replace your key at no cost should it become damaged during that time. It's also best practice to always have a spare key in case the primary key becomes damaged or lost! It's also best practice to always have a spare key in case the primary key becomes damaged or lost!

I really liked setting up the security key with various websites.
Using it with my Microsoft Account and Google Account was a pleasure.
However, I just could not get it to work with Instagram. The instructions on the Yubico website just do not work - it appears as if Instagram has withdrawn its support.

Happy to hear you like the setup process with various websites!
Regarding instagram, I'm afraid that our Security Key Series is not compatible with this service because Instagram uses authenticators for two-factor authentication. The Security Key NFC isn't compatible with Authenticators, as it doesn't have the OATH applet found in our YubiKeys, which is where the authenticator code “secrets” get stored. Our YubiKey 5 series is compatible with the Yubico Authenticator.
In case it helps, please see our comparison chart that shows which features our Security Keys have:

If you want to return your Security Key NFC and purchase a 5 series YubiKey instead, please contact our customer support for an RMA. They're always happy to help!
