- Multi-Protocol Support: YubiKey supports multiple protocols, including OAuth, SAML, and HOTP, making it compatible with a wide range of applications and services.
- Touch-to-Authenticate: YubiKey’s touch-to-authenticate feature provides an added layer of security, ensuring that the user is physically present during the authentication process
