YubiKeys: Simple security that feels like self-care

/in /by

Get ready, Berlin! Join Yubico at Showstoppers IFA 2025 to explore the future of passwordless authentication. We’ll be showcasing the YubiKey- a physical hardware security key with passkeys that protects your online accounts. 

The YubiKey adds an extra layer of security beyond just a username and password, which is a method known as multi-factor authentication (MFA). Unlike other forms of MFA that can be phished, the YubiKey with passkeys are the only method proven to prevent phishing and account takeovers. The YubiKey doesn’t require batteries, Wi-Fi, or a network connection. Instead, it uses a simple touch to verify your identity and get you logged in.

At Showstoppers, Yubico will also demonstrate how YubiKeys protect against evolving threats, by creating a phishing-resistant user experience. No more guessing if an email is real; with the YubiKey, unauthorized access is blocked, even if you accidentally click a bad link.

Be sure to stop by booth #32 to see a live demo of the YubiKey makes online security simple, strong, and provides peace of mind.
