These forms of authentication will also be useful for mobile users. For example, you could use Google Authenticator or our Yubico Authenticator app to set up your backup on a second YubiKey. The YubiKey is great for protecting against remote hackers trying to access your account, but you may be thinking, “What if I forget my key?” Twitter has it set up for you to have a backup form of two-factor authentication on your account as well. However, Twitter does not yet have support for the YubiKey in their mobile app, but we hope that this will be a feature they add in the near future. This works by just tapping the YubiKey NEO to the back of your phone. The YubiKey NEO is our mobile-friendly device that is equipped with near field communication (NFC). Just insert the YubiKey into your computer’s USB port and after it starts blinking, tap it. It will ask for your username and password, and then it will ask for your YubiKey.
Once you register your YubiKey with Twitter, you will be required to present the key each time you login to your account in the future. Twitter has some simple set up instructions here for using on your computer. This new feature is now available to all 328 million of Twitter’s monthly active users for both personal and business accounts. And now, there is one more to add to the list!Īs of last month, Twitter users can now protect their accounts with FIDO U2F two-factor authentication using a YubiKey or Security Key by Yubico. What are your go-to apps? There are several applications and services that many of us use weekly, and in most cases, daily - Gmail, Facebook, Dropbox, a password manager - and the good news is that all of these support the YubiKey for strong authentication.
