I bought a Yubikey now What: Securing your Google account

[@Jon_Oates]

Thank you. Clear and easy to understand. Helps to explain the difference between 2-factor authentication and password-less login.

Wonderful video. I just got my YubiKey and watched your other video for first time users. In this video at 1:22 the Google Prompt asks for the Security Key Password. Do I enter the FIDO Pin that I created? Thanks.

[@codewrecks]

Yes when some site / software is using your YubiKey to perform authentication (not 2nd factor, but using the key as sole factor of authentication) it ask you for the pin. If you got wrong for 8 times credentials inside the key are lost forever.

Once this is done, does it also secure RUclips, since it's under the Google umbrella and part of my account?

[@codewrecks]

Yes it will secure everything related to your google account.

Thank you for the tutorial! It is possible to protect two different google accounts with the same hardware key?

[@codewrecks]

Yes, absolutely

[@Wh0CaresAnyway]

Great! Thank you for taking your time to answer 👍

hye.. at time line 1:01 you registered the yubikey using the usb at the yr laptop.
lets say next time if i want to login from my phone, do i need to physically connect the yubikey to my phone charging port or can i just use the nfc option to verify my login? the reason im asking this is because at the starting stage you registered the yubikey by means of usb at the laptop.

[@codewrecks]

If you phone has NFC you can use it. Sometimes some apps does not support nfc and require USB, but for login in chrome browser it works
