How to use

During registration you will be prompted to enroll a fingerprint directly on the device; the biometric template is stored locally on the key. For sign-in, insert the key and verify your fingerprint when prompted to complete a passwordless or second-factor authentication.

Usage recommendations

Use the YubiKey C Bio with up-to-date browsers and operating systems that support FIDO2/WebAuthn. Register a backup authentication method or additional security keys for account recovery and consider issuing hardware keys for privileged accounts and shared workstation setups.
