If you arrived from our identity fraud or scam recovery pages, the YubiKey 5C NFC is the single product we recommend most often during account-hardening sessions. It is the lowest-cost defence against the most common attack we see in our Erina workshop — credential phishing, where the attacker has your password but cannot get past a hardware second factor.
USB-C plugs into modern laptops and most Android phones; NFC tap covers iPhones (iOS 16+) and any phone where you would rather not fiddle with cables. One key can secure dozens of accounts. We recommend buying two — one daily-use, one in a drawer as backup — so a lost primary never locks you out.
