Rationale
Yubikeys are physical USB security keys. They allow users to securely log into their accounts by emitting one-time passwords. When using Yubikeys as part of a plan to 🔒 Use Multi-Factor Authentication, an adversary would need to have physical access to the Yubikey in order to access the accounts which are protected with the key, making it less likely that the accounts are compromised remotely.
