Yubikey is a small key that you can attach to your computer or mobile phone to increase security when logging in to various services. With Yubikey, you can use 2-step verification, which means you need both a password and a one-time code to log in.
The Storegate TOTP is a feature that allows the Yubikey to be used as a disposable code generator for the Storegate.
To activate Yubikey you need to have:
- A key (Yubikey) from Yubico
- Yubico Authenticator app for Windows, macOS, iOS or Android
- Activated 2-step verification on your Storegate account
From now on, you will need the Yubickey plugged in every time you generate a code in the Yubico Authenticator to log in to your Storegate account. This way you get an extra layer of protection for your data on Storegate.
If you don't have a Yubico key fob, you can also use Microsoft Authenticator or any authentication app that supports the TOTP protocol.
