YubiKey C Bio (FIDO Edition)

USB-C · no NFC

Good fit if

  • Shared workstations where typing a PIN in front of other people is the objection you actually have to solve.

Look elsewhere if

  • Anyone needing smart card, OATH or OpenPGP, and anyone who taps a phone.
  • No NFC on this line.

YubiKey C Bio (FIDO Edition) connects over USB-C. There is no NFC on this model, so it only authenticates when plugged in.

Shared workstations where typing a PIN in front of other people is the objection you actually have to solve.

Where it is the wrong choice: anyone needing smart card, OATH or OpenPGP, and anyone who taps a phone. No NFC on this line.

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