YubiKey Hardware Token

The YubiKey is a device that makes multi-factor authentication as simple as possible. Instead of a code being generated by an app on your phone, you press a button on your YubiKey upon logging in. Each device has a unique code built into it, which is used to verify the login is authentic. These YubiKeys are optional and not provided by the College or LITS.

YubiKey Options

• USB-A Option: https://www.yubico.com/product/yubikey-5-nfc/
