Symantec VIP Enabled YubiKey


Login to PayPal with YubiKey

Yubico is proud to announce a YubiKey pre-configured with a Symantec VIP credential. There are many sites that support two factor authentication using Symantec VIP today including PayPal, eBay, Merrill Lynch, T Mobile. Now you can use the YubiKey format to secure your access to those sites.

Watch Video

We have made a short video here of the YubiKey with a Symantec VIP credential being associated with a PayPal account to implement two factor authentication.

OATH authentication.

The VIP enabled YubiKey is configured for the OATH standard, including a 6 digit One Time Password. The VIP does not come with a Yubico OTP identity pre-loaded to work with YubiCloud or Yubico demo sites, however you can add one later.

Order

You can order a VIP enabled YubiKey here. Please check the service you want to use is supported in your country (for example, we believe PayPal does not yet support two-factor authentication with VIP everywhere, for example, Denmark). In this initial partnership between Symantec and Yubico, Yubico offers the YubiKey at retail price, including shipment and support for individual users.

Dual identity option

The VIP enabled YubiKey comes with its configuration password set to ensure the VIP credential is not accidentally overwritten as it cannot be recovered. The second identity slot is open and can be configured for either a Yubico OTP using the AES Key Upload Service, or with a static password. If you really do want to overwrite the VIP credential, the password is the same as the serial number (8 digits laser etched onto the key). If you are unclear about this paragraph - please refer to the Yubico manual on the documentation page.

Resynchronizing your VIP YubiKey

If your VIP YubiKey stops being accepted by the VIP service it may need re-synchronizing. This can happen if several codes are generated that are not sent to the VIP service for validation. Please go here for re-synchronization. A short video of the process is shown here.
