    Chose Cisco Duo
    Yubico also works with Duo, however, the setup and use of Yubikey's tend to be for advanced users. The lay audience will never be able to successfully deploy the use of these keys. Duo mobile apps simplify life with the bypass code creation or via push notifications. Google …

    Chose Cisco Duo
    Google Authenticator generates codes, which is okay for certain sites, but not quite as robust as Duo. Of course, it's cheaper, but it doesn't do as much and the setup is more complicated on the back end. The only realm in which it's really even competitive with Duo is for …

    Chose Yubico YubiKeys
    I've never really used any other physical keys, I mean I've used multifactor authentication from Google Authenticator or Duo, but never another physical key, so this is my first experience with that.

    Chose Yubico YubiKeys
    Yubico YubiKeys is slightly different than Duo but I do like that it's quick and easy. Our users like that they don't have to use personal phones.

    When using HOTP Duo MFA fobs, the YubiKeys are much better because they are lighter weight, more durable, and easy to take everywhere.

    Chose Yubico YubiKeys
    Duo and Yubico YubiKeys actually work very well together. We have chosen to use these two products together to make safe and secure MFA (including Passwordless) available to all users. The ease of use that Duo allows for both OTP import and WebAuthn enrollment makes it possible …

    Broader adoption and support, more product options, and better compliance with standards and regulations.

    Chose Yubico YubiKeys
    Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator are both consumer (and commercial) grade products so they are expected to be easy to use. When you move to a more advanced product such as Yubico, there's a reason why you are not using the "easier" methods. The reasons may …

    Chose Yubico YubiKeys
    I haven't used any other physical security devices previously. YubiKey and other tech giants like Google, Cisco, and RSA all offer some form of physical/hardware-based security, which is implemented at many workplaces. Yubico was selected for its comprehensive documentation, …
