Prerequisites / Minimum Requirements
The purpose of this guide covers recommended phishing-resistant devices and users registration of device for Creighton Single Sign-On.
Why Use Yubikeys (FIDO2)
YubiKeys provide phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless sign-in through the FIDO2 standard. They protect against credential theft, MFA fatigue, and account compromise while making authentication faster and easier. No more typing complex passwords, resetting forgotten credentials, or approving unexpected MFA prompts. Simply insert or tap your YubiKey to securely access your accounts.
Please note that the university will not provide YubiKeys. Individuals who choose to use a YubiKey for phishing-resistant MFA or passwordless sign-in are responsible for purchasing their own device. A list of supported models and purchasing recommendations is available below.
When purchasing your key, please select the model that is compatible with the ports available on your workstation.
