Enable YubiKey multi-factor authentication (MFA) to increase the security of your status page by protecting from phishing, brute-force attacks and stolen credentials.
Connect a YubiKey to your account:
- Obtain a YubiKey device. They are available for purchase directly from the Yubico Store.
- Navigate to the Account page in the Status.io Dashboard.
- Enter your OTP generated by the YubiKey in the Multi-Factor Authentication section.
If the YubiKey connection was successful your account will show the YubiKey ID.
We recommend connecting 2 YubiKeys to your account. This helps to protect against lockouts if you were to lose your original YubiKey.
Pro Tip: The team owner can posses a single YubiKey and use it as a backup for every team member in their account.
Every time you login to Status.io, simply tap your YubiKey while selecting the OTP field.
