University 2FA YubiKey Token (USB-A)

University 2FA YubiKey Token (USB-A)
$27.00
Yubico
Eligibility: emeriti, UIC Faculty, UIC Member, UIC Staff, UIC Students, UIS Faculty, UIS Staff, UIS Students, UIUC Allied persons, UIUC Faculty and Staff, UIUC Retired and UIUC Students.
University 2FA YubiKey Token (USB-A)

Important Note:

The USB Security Key currently sold by the Webstore (Security Key NFC by Yubico) uses modern and secure WebAuthn/FIDO2 authentication standards.

The Duo Universal Prompt used by Urbana, Chicago, and Springfield login pages support these standards. Some AITS login pages use the Duo Universal Prompt as well.

However, the older custom Duo prompts cannot be used with the Security Keys sold by the Webstore. AITS is in the process of transitioning their applications to the new Duo Universal Prompt.

As of the time of writing, some major applications using the older prompt (and thus incompatible with these Security Keys) include:

  • Banner
  • Chrome River
  • iBuy
  • My UI Info (including accessing earning statements).

Additionally, the NetID Center does not support registering security keys. Registration must be done via a Duo Universal Prompt.

Description

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Hardware Tokens and Security Keys

Hardware tokens and security keys are small, portable devices that can be used for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). If you don't have a device compatible with the Duo Mobile app, or do not want to use a personal device for MFA, you can use a hardware token purchased from the Webstore instead. Hardware tokens also do not depend on connectivity to the internet.

 

Personal Purchase vs. Departmental Purchase

Before buying a token as a personal purchase you should consult with your Unit/Department to determine if a departmental purchase is more appropriate. In addition, please keep in mind the token can only be used with University resources. NOTE: Do NOT use a University P-card to make this purchase because it will charge tax. For departmental purchase, please click on SHOP UNIT PURCHASE in the top left corner of the main WebStore screen and then search for "2FA" in the search bar. After you choose which type of token(s) you want, the payment option will ask for a CFOP for payment and this will avoid the tax being charged.

 

How it Works
1. Access a University resource that is protected by 2FA.
2. Enter your username/password.
3. Select Yubikey from the drop down

4.  Insert your Yubikey in the USB drive and press the gold button to logon

 

 

How to Associate with your University Identity
Once a token is purchased, and before it can be used with 2FA, it must be associated with a University identity.  To learn how to associate a token to your identity refer to: https://answers.uillinois.edu/2fa-token

 

Additional Information
Tokens can only be used with University resources.  Unit purchases are considered property of the University and token use must comply with all appropriate policies.   All support issues with tokens should be directed through the appropriate University Help Desk.  More information about the tokens and 2FA can be found at https://answers.uillinois.edu/2fa-token

 

Faulty tokens will be replaced up to 6 months from the time of purchase.  Please reference your purchase receipt number when requesting a replacement.
