Now, the company is continuing its work with Microsoft, expanding its protections to "international election campaigns, human rights defenders, healthcare workers, journalists, and other high-risk organizations in 31 countries. The YubiKey 5Ci with Lightning connector and USB-C connector is priced at 75. We are excited to now extend our partnership with Microsoft AccountGuard to offer this same level of security not only to election campaigns in other countries, but also to healthcare workers, journalists, and human rights organizations. The YubiKey 5C NFC that I used in this review is priced at 55, and it can be purchased from the Yubico website. It was a proud moment for the Yubico team when we learned that YubiKeys played a critical role in helping to protect the 2020 US presidential and bi-partisan state election campaigns. Talking to MakeUseOf, Yubico CEO and Co-Founder Stina Ehrensvärd said: The partnership was an extension of Microsoft's existing AccountGuard protection tool, designed specifically as part of its Defending Democracy Program.Īs part of that campaign, Microsoft partnered with security key company Yubico to deliver "phishing resistant security keys" to thousands of AccountGuard customers.Īhead of the 2020 US election, Yubico delivered free YubiKeys to AccountGuard customers, giving organizations the chance to bulk out their security, even if they didn't have access to dedicated security or IT staff.
In June 2020, Microsoft and Yubico announced a security partnership designed to bolster protection for people working on political campaigns, regardless of political allegiance. Yubico and Microsoft Bolster Election Security
