YubiKey Bio Series
Fingerprint on the key itself. Passwordless sign-in with no PIN to type and no code to read.
Overview
The Bio Series adds a fingerprint sensor to the key. The template is stored in the secure element on the device and never leaves it — there is no biometric database to protect, and no fingerprint held by us or by any service you sign in to. A PIN remains available as fallback. Two editions exist: the FIDO Edition covers FIDO2/WebAuthn and U2F for cloud-first environments, while the Multi-protocol Edition adds PIV smart card so the same fingerprint works for Windows desktop login.
