    The Yubico YubiKey 5C NFC is a USB-C and NFC hardware security key for FIDO2/WebAuthn and other authentication methods, suited to people and organizations seeking an additional way to secure accounts across supported devices.

    Recommended For

    • People who sign in to important accounts on both a USB-C computer and a phone: they can use the key by plugging it into a computer or tapping it to a compatible phone, where the service and app support security-key authentication.
    • People securing accounts that support hardware security keys or passkeys—such as supported Google, Microsoft, or password-manager accounts—who want a physical sign-in method rather than relying only on codes or phone prompts.
    • IT teams and technically confident users who need one physical key for more than basic web sign-ins, including supported OATH one-time codes or smart-card (PIV) workflows.
    • Mobile workers who keep a key on their keyring and want to authenticate on the go, provided their phone, browser or app, and account support the chosen USB-C or NFC sign-in flow.
