I am installing 1password and want to use a Yubikey for 2FA on both my windows laptop and my android cellphone. Which yubico key should I be getting that works on both devices - Yubikey 5C NFC, Yubikey 5c, Security Key C NFC by Yubico (Fido only)? Not sure what the difference is and if some keys will work only on one of my devices. Tha nks

    Hello @Gonzalez50! 👋

    Thank you for the question! You'll want to use a FIDO U2F-compatible security key like a YubiKey or a Titan key. Make sure that the key features connections that will work with all of your devices (for example, a USB-C port). You should have two different second factors added to your account, whether it's two security keys or a security key and a TOTP authenticator app just in case you lose a security key or it breaks.

    You can read more about using a security key for two-factor authentication here: Use your security key as a second factor for your 1Password account

    Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
