Configure MFA on Microsoft 365 with a Yubikey

In my last video, I spoke about configuring multi-factor authentication on Microsoft 365 using the free smartphone app - but what happens if you don’t have a smartphone? You can use a Yubikey to configure MFA on Microsoft 365.

MFA is so important for Microsoft 365 - it can reduce the chances of a hack by 99.9%. The easiest and best way to configure MFA is by using the free Microsoft Authenticator app which is installed on a smartphone.

But what happens if a smartphone isn’t available? You might be thinking, who doesn’t have a smartphone?

But the problem is if you own a business and you don’t supply your team with company-owned smartphones, then you’re asking them to install work-related apps on their personal phones.

In my experience, some people don’t want to do that and it is their prerogative.

So what is the answer?

The answer is to supply people with one of these - it’s called a Yubikey but the company is called Yubico.

It’s a small device that people can carry around with them - it can fit onto a keyring. This one here was bought from Amazon and was around £40.

Let me show you how you configure this for MFA with M365.
