We've seen it with 8zip and Fenice for Twitter, but where I want to see it is banking and security apps like LastPass. Once you start using your face, iris, or fingerprint to log into Window 10 you want that feature in apps too Windows Hello allows developers to do exactly that. I'm just saying I'm all in with Windows Hello, the biometric authentication system for Windows 10. The YubiKey 5 Series is a great solution to provide that security.I have a Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, a Lumia 950, a Lumia 950 XL, Intel RealSense camera, and a few laptops/tablets that have built-in fingerprint readers. We can’t stress enough how valuable MFA is to provide an extra layer of security for your online life.

If you purchase a YubiKey 5 Series key, you can set it up with the instructions here. LastPass will continue to support these devices. If you already use older generation YubiKeys with LastPass, including the YubiKey NEO, you can continue to do so. To learn more about all the new features of the YubiKey 5 Series, check out the Yubico website. The YubiKey 5 NFC, one of the four YubiKey form factors in the YubiKey 5 Series, also offers NFC support which allows you to securely authenticate on your mobile device. So it’s easy to use on the go. YubiKeys work seamlessly with LastPass Premium, Families, Teams, and Enterprise on major browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox, across multiple platforms, including iOS and Android with the LastPass app. The YubiKey simplifies the MFA experience for individuals and employees alike by providing a hardware-based, easy, and more secure way to log in and access passwords stored in your LastPass account.

Turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your LastPass accounts and all other key accounts (like email, banking, etc.) is one of the most effective methods of securing your information and helps prevent hackers from accessing your account. We’re pleased to extend our partnership with Yubico even further! Today, Yubico is announcing the new YubiKey 5 Series – and LastPass is excited to support these new devices.Īs data breaches become more and more common, you have to take steps to protect your online accounts.
