Buying for a team? We advise on which key fits and run the rollout, enrolment and Conditional Access included. Talk to us.

Good fit if

  • Desktop fleets and docks still on USB-A, where buying USB-C would mean buying adapters too.

Look elsewhere if

  • A USB-C-only laptop.
  • NFC will work with a phone, but the key will not plug into the machine.

YubiKey 5 NFC connects over USB-A. It also works over NFC, so the same key taps against a phone.

Desktop fleets and docks still on USB-A, where buying USB-C would mean buying adapters too.

Where it is the wrong choice: a USB-C-only laptop. NFC will work with a phone, but the key will not plug into the machine.

Every order ships from Sydney with a tax invoice, and we are happy to talk through a rollout before you commit to a quantity.
