Yubico is introducing the YubiKey 5 – Enhanced PIN, pre-configured with the ability to deliver PIN controls and user enforcement. The YubiKey 5 – Enhanced PIN features a minimum PIN length and an increase in overall PIN complexity. Enterprise customers now have the ability to easily meet policy and audit requirements, as well as evolving compliance and regulatory guidance for authentication, with an “off-the-shelf” product.
Features are now available for the YubiKey 5 NFC and YubiKey 5C NFC models on the Enhanced PIN product via YubiKey as a Service, including:
- PIN Complexity turned on automatically
- Minimum PIN Length set to 6 characters
- Complete PIN control and user enforcement policies for all users via alwaysUV (always user verify) turned on by default
- Unique FIDO AAGUID to allow policy enforcement
This new release follows the introduction of the YubiKey 5.7 firmware and the Security Key – Enterprise Edition last year, where PIN complexity has been an optional feature available on YubiKeys with firmware version 5.7 or later.
