Yubico describes this as the “next logical step” for the company, particularly as most modern laptops still don’t feature built-in biometric security.
The YubiKey Bio - first teased almost two years ago at Microsoft Ignite in November 2019 - jumps on the passwordless bandwagon by embedding a built-in fingerprint reader to the key. Microsoft recently rolled out a passwordless sign-in option to all consumer accounts, and Google this year announced plans to eventually eliminate the password. The launch of the YubiKey Bio comes as tech giants transition away from traditional password-based logins, a prime target for cyberattacks. Yubico, the maker of hardware security keys, has unveiled the YubiKey Bio, its first key to support biometric authentication for passwordless logins and multifactor authentication (2FA)
