A YubiKey is a hardware token made by the [https://www.yubico.com/ Yubico] company. If you do not have a smartphone or tablet, do not wish to use your phone or tablet for multifactor authentication, or are often in a situation when using your phone or tablet is not possible, then a YubiKey 5 is your best option. | A YubiKey is a hardware token made by the [https://www.yubico.com/ Yubico] company.

Among the many protocols supported by YubiKeys, the one which works with SSH connections to our clusters is the Yubico One-Time Password (OTP). After you have registered a YubiKey for multifactor authentication, when you log on to one of our clusters you will be prompted for a one-time password (OTP). You respond by touching a button on your YubiKey, which generates and transmits a string of 32 characters to complete your authentication. | Among the many protocols supported by YubiKeys, the one which works with SSH connections to our clusters is the Yubico One-Time Password (OTP).

Using a YubiKey does not require any typing on the keyboard: the YubiKey connected to your computer “types” the 32-character string when you touch its button. | ||
