Review: Does not work as claimed by the manufacturers. - This product does not seem to work. It is a total waste of money. I got it refunded.
Review: I am very pleased with the Yubico YubiKey 5Ci. Shipping was prompt, and the security key arrived well-packaged and protected, with no signs of damage. The dual-connector design—featuring both USB-C and Lightning plugs—was exactly as advertised and ready for immediate setup. In terms of product quality, this YubiKey feels solid and reliable. The build quality gives confidence that it will withstand daily carry on a keychain, and the connectors seat securely into devices without wiggle or looseness. Setting it up with my accounts was straightforward; the configuration steps were clear and compatible with the MFA options in most services I use. Functionally, the key enhances security through hardware-based authentication rather than relying solely on passwords or SMS codes. It supports modern authentication standards such as FIDO2/WebAuthn and U2F, providing a practical second factor for logging into email, cloud services, password managers, and other online accounts that support security keys. The dual Lightning and USB-C connectors make it especially useful for iPhone users and other Apple devices that lack conventional USB ports. Yubico +1 From a value perspective, this security key offers strong protection at a reasonable cost compared with subscription-based alternatives or more complex enterprise solutions. Its broad platform compatibility—covering iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and many web services—adds versatility. While not every app supports hardware keys yet, the ecosystem continues to expand, and the YubiKey remains a robust, future-oriented investment in account security. Overall, this is a well-made, dependable MFA solution that combines convenience with significant security benefits, and I would confidently recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you recover your ability to log on if you lose the key?**
A: Make sure you save the recovery codes when you set up 2FA / MFA.

**Q: Do the connectors retract?  Looks as if they could be damaged carrying on a key ring in your pocket.**
A: They do NOT retract, overall seems sturdy, I keep mine put up at home with a back up key in a safety deposit box at the bank. To make a copy after capturing the QR code with one key and saving the info, simply pull the key and stick the second one in and capture the same QR code, boom two copies, can do same with 2fa apps, the key is the same QR code, means same gateway sorta speak.

**Q: Does the yubi remained plugged into your device/pc the total length of time you are using device/pc, or do you unplug it once authenticated?**
A: For OTP/U2F you only need it plugged in when you're prompted for the token (ie U2F on Github, Facebook, Google, etc.); It is a good security habit not to leave it plugged in. Yubikeys have many uses and while I don't know of any that require the Yubikey to be plugged in to maintain access you can use it as a "Smart Card" for logging into your computer (ie if the screen locks or you logout you will need it to log back in).

**Q: Does it work on 2020 ipad**
A: Yes. The iPad Pro uses the USB-C connector. The regular iPad uses the lightning connector
