Yubico Authenticator

Yubico Authenticator lets you access one-time passwords and manage credentials on your YubiKey. It’s for you if you use a hardware security key for account access.

What you get

Keep your login credentials on your YubiKey, not your phone.

Yubico Authenticator gives you access to one-time passwords stored on your YubiKey, so you can keep those sensitive credentials on a hardware key rather than your phone. You can carry the key between mobile and desktop devices and retrieve codes without an internet connection. You need a YubiKey to use it; the app is its companion, not a replacement.

You can also manage how you unlock and use your key: configure PINs, set up fingerprints on supported keys, and manage passkeys. If you use smart-card credentials, you can manage PIV private keys and certificates, too.

When you need to check or reconfigure your YubiKey, you can see its serial number, firmware version, and supported capabilities. You can choose which functions are enabled, provision slot-based credentials such as Yubico OTP or static passwords, and factory-reset the key’s data when necessary.

  • Keep credentials off your phone

    You can store one-time-password credentials on your YubiKey instead of keeping those secrets on your phone.

  • Get codes offline

    You can access your YubiKey’s one-time passwords without an internet connection.

  • Control your key’s access

    You can configure PINs, manage passkeys, and set up fingerprints where your YubiKey supports them.

  • Know your key’s capabilities

    You can check your YubiKey’s firmware and supported functions before configuring it.

Best for

  • You use a YubiKey for two-factor authentication
  • You want authentication secrets stored on hardware rather than your phone
  • You manage passkeys or PIV certificates on a YubiKey

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you don’t use a YubiKey and only want a standalone password manager or authenticator.
