Episode 271: Yubikeeeeyyyyyyssssss

Multi Factor Authentication is a topic we’ve covered here and there in the past. Yubikey is one of those companies that many of us have worked with. But planning for larger scale deployments is different than getting a key to work with our own password manager or in isolated cases. Further, webauthn and other standards are being embraced by Apple in the upcoming releases of the Apple operating systems. So in this episode we’ll talk about what a Yubikey is, how to use them, and some of those things that we wish we’d’ve known before we got started!
