In 2007, Yubico was founded with the goal of creating a more secure and user-friendly way to authenticate digital identities. Yubico developed the YubiKey, a small USB device that provides strong two-factor authentication, and set out to make it widely available to consumers and businesses.
The YubiKey is designed to be highly secure and easy to
use, providing an additional layer of protection for user accounts and sensitive data. By requiring both a physical device and a password or biometric factor, the YubiKey helps to prevent unauthorized access and identity theft. It is widely compatible with a variety of platforms and services, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Dropbox, and can be used for a variety of authentication methods, including one-time passcodes, public-key encryption, and passwordless login.
Yubico has since grown into a global leader in authentication and security, with offices and customers around the world. The company has expanded its product line to include a range of hardware and software solutions, including the YubiHSM, YubiEnterprise Services, and the YubiCloud authentication-as-a-service platform. Yubico's products are used by a wide range of industries, including healthcare, finance, government, and technology, and the company continues to innovate and develop new solutions for the rapidly evolving digital security landscape.
