It scans your fingerprint to verify your identity, saving you the trouble of typing a PIN every time you want to access your accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Yubico actually announced the YubiKey Bio in November of 2020, about 11 months ago. It just takes a long time to launch products in the age of COVID-19. Anyway, the YubiKey Bio works like most security keys. You plug it into a PC or Mac when you want to unlock an account, verifying your identity through a simple PIN number\u2014or in this case, a quick biometric fingerprint scan.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe your PC or Mac already has a fingerprint scanner, but that\u2019s besides the point. Security keys provide a physical layer of protection for all of your accounts. Even if a hacker steals your laptop and figures out your secret YubiKey PIN, they can\u2019t access your accounts without using your YubiKey Bio.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YubiKey Bio Sneak Peek\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5yIEz1ahj20?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The new YubiKey Bio comes in USB-A or USB-C form-factors and works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux. It\u2019s also compatible with Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers.<\/p>\n<p>But before you get too excited, Yubico actually suggests <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yubico.com%2Fquiz%2F\">taking a quiz<\/a> to see which YubiKey is right for you. The company says that some customers may prefer a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yubico.com%2Fproducts%2Fyubikey-5-overview%2F\">YubiKey 5-series device<\/a> over the YubiKey Bio, as they support protocols like NFC and come in a wider variety of form factors.<\/p>\n<p>You can now order the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yubico.com%2Fstore%2F%23yubikey-bio-series-fido-edition\">YubiKey Bio<\/a> in a USB-A ($80) or USB-C ($85) form-factor. If you don\u2019t really care that much about fingerprint scanning, I suggest looking at the YubiKey 5C NFC, which costs just $55 and lets you verify your identity with your smartphone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
