We use YubiKey to authenticate online services with email, web, and Twitter. We deploy it for some sensitive administrative accounts to improve security.
Basically, it works hand in hand with PingID, so PingID will prompt the user for the same use cases, including VPN, bulk application, and desktop or laptop. It'll prompt them to give the user a choice of whether they can do a swipe up on their phone, or they can plug in their YubiKey, and there's a little circle on the top. They touch it, and that releases the cryptographic key on the key itself and sends it back to the PingID back in service, indicating this is the key that you registered with previously. So that's how Yubico works. It lights up, and they touch it, and it releases the key cryptographic key that's on it.
There are some secure projects that my team and I work on that have files that everybody needs to use and we put them into a Yubico YubiKey secured file directory. We secure each file from there.
Authentication is the most fundamental component of access management and is part of security requirements in the digital world. It verifies the identity of users trying to access systems and data by validating their credentials.
