This guide is designed to help you set up your YubiKeys on any services that offer two-factor authentication connections using authenticator programs that generate codes. <\/span><\/p>\n You may have seen such offers if you set up two-factor authentication in accounts on Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Evernote, Dropbox, and many others. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]To generate a code on one of these sites, you usually use an application on your mobile phone, such as Google Authenticator. It allows you to scan a QR code to add an account and generate a one-time six-digit OATH-TOTP password valid for 30 seconds. Since sites are usually compatible with many authenticators, you can use for two-factor authentication <\/span>Yubico authenticator<\/span><\/a>that works with Windows, Mac, Linux operating systems and mobile devices based on iOS and Android.<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we will consider the following questions:<\/b><\/p>\n The following keys can be used with the Yubico Authenticator app:<\/span><\/p>\n Hardware to set up YubiKey on PC:<\/span><\/p>\n The following steps to configure the application:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image7-1.png” alt=”authenticator Yubico interface” title_text=”authenticator Yubico interface” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 6. In the menu that opens, select the “Add account<\/strong>” item.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image5.png” alt=”Add account” title_text=”Add account” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 7. After that, a form will open with fields for adding account information. This form is automatically filled after the Yubico Authenticator scans the QR code. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image3.png” alt=”The form for adding an account to the Yubico authenticator” title_text=”The form for adding an account to the Yubico authenticator” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 8. Please note<\/b> that before filling out the form, you can fill in some fields yourself and choose settings. After saving, the settings cannot be changed.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image1.png” alt=”Configuring the Yubico Authenticator Form” title_text=”Configuring the Yubico Authenticator Form” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n So you can add your site name, account holder name, and set up a key touch requirement to display the code, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n 9. After entering the necessary parameters, click the “Save” button in the upper right corner. <\/span><\/p>\n 10. After that, you will be returned to the main screen of the application, where you will see information about your account and code. To copy it, click on the code with the mouse and hold until you see a message at the bottom that the code has been successfully copied to the clipboard. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image2.png” alt=”image2″ title_text=”image2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”] 11. Now complete the settings directly on the site by inserting the received code in the appropriate field and, if necessary, confirm the action by entering the account password.<\/span><\/p>\n Congratulations! You have successfully configured Yubico Authenticator. If you want to add a spare key to your account, repeat all the steps again using the QR code you saved beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n To configure YubiKey on Android, select the hardware:<\/span><\/p>\n Next, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.thekernel.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image1.png” alt=”Configuring the Yubico Authenticator Form” title_text=”Configuring the Yubico Authenticator Form” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||3%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”] 7. Save the created record in the application and complete the settings on the site at the request of the server. This usually involves entering the code you see on the authenticator screen and confirming your password.<\/span><\/p>\n Congratulations!<\/b> You have successfully configured your authenticator. In the future, in order to use the app, you will need to unlock the authenticator with the YubiKey. To do this, bring it up to NFC on your phone again.<\/span><\/p>\n If you plan to add a spare key, you will need to repeat all the steps again using the duplicate codes. <\/span><\/p>\n To effectively configure the YubiKey in the iOS mobile operating system, you will need to choose the appropriate equipment:<\/span><\/p>\n Steps to setup:<\/span><\/p>\n Note.<\/b> If you plan to add a spare YubiKey to your account, you need to save the QR code you used to set up the first key and go through all the steps again. <\/span><\/p>\n After you’ve set up two-factor authentication to sign in to your account, the server will ask for a code every time you try to sign in (or when you try to sign in on another device). <\/span><\/p>\n Features of working with the Yubico authenticator:<\/span><\/p>\n Pay attention<\/b>! <\/span> <\/p>\n The Yubico authenticator implements the OATH-TOTP one-time password standard based on real-time. So if the codes are rejected as incorrect, check the time synchronization settings on the server and on your device. <\/span><\/p>\n Although it is not possible to copy the information from the YubiKey, you can use the information provided by service providers to add other keys later. For example, in case of loss of the key. To do this, simply store the secret keys or QR codes provided during initial setup in a safe place. <\/span><\/p>\n You can increase security by password protecting the OATH program. That is, before you can see the code on the application screen, you will need to enter a password. To do this, unlock the authenticator with the key and find the item in the application menu (under the three dots or under the gear symbol)<\/span> “set (or change) password”<\/b>. <\/span> <\/p>\n That’s all we wanted to talk about authenticator settings.
