About the App

Ever wish you could lock down your online accounts with something even stronger than just a password? Yubico Authenticator from Yubico AB is all about keeping your digital world safe, without overcomplicating things. This handy tool lets you store your secure credentials right on your YubiKey, making it easy to keep them out of harm’s way—no more worrying about all your secrets living on your phone. Whether you’re logging in from your phone, desktop, or even while using BlueStacks, getting your 2FA codes has never been this flexible or reassuring.

App Features

  • Secured by Hardware: Your sensitive authentication codes don’t live on your phone or computer—they’re stored directly on your YubiKey. This means even if someone gets into your device, your accounts are still locked tight.

  • Portable & Consistent: Got your YubiKey handy? You’ve got your logins, no matter what device you’re using. Switch between mobile, desktop, or BlueStacks without a hitch.

  • Flexible Code Generation: Whether the service you use needs a time-based or counter-based code, Yubico Authenticator has you covered. Add as many accounts as you need—personal, work, you name it.

  • USB & NFC Support: Plug in your YubiKey via USB, or just tap it using NFC on supported phones. Easy either way.

  • Effortless Setup: Setting up an account is simple—just scan a QR code from the service you want to protect and you’re in business.

  • User Presence Verification: For extra-sensitive stuff, you can set it up so you have to physically touch your YubiKey or give it an NFC tap to get your code, adding another layer of safety.

  • Works Across Services: If a site works with other Authenticator apps, chances are it’ll work seamlessly with Yubico Authenticator too.

  • Customizable Actions: Decide what should happen when you tap your YubiKey against your phone’s NFC reader when the app isn’t open—because a tiny bit of customization never hurts.

  • Multiple Account Support: Juggling work, personal, and everything in-between? Handle as many accounts as you’d like in one place, all super secure.
