Company: Yubico

Solution: Security key that enables secure two-factor or multi-factor authentication without a password

Locations: Germany, Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Sweden

Founders: Stina Ehrensvärd, CEO, and Jakob Ehrensvärd, CTO

Yubico was founded in Sweden 2007 with the mission to make secure login easy and available for everyone. In 2011, Stina, CEO & Founder, and Jakob, Chief Innovation Officer & Founder, moved to Silicon Valley to make the dream happen. In close collaboration with the leading internet companies and thought leaders we created native support for our security keys in the major online platforms and browsers, enabling a safer internet for billions of people. Their team is located in 11 countries, and their security keys, manufactured in Sweden and USA.

Yubico pioneered the design of the first one-time password authenticator to work with a simple touch and with no client software,  and we made it compatible with the open authentication standard OATH. We then further secured and simplified the PIV smart card standard by adding touch-to-sign and built-in attestation. And in close collaboration with Google and Microsoft, we co-created the FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) and FIDO2 open authentication standards. Our work has been contributed to open identity standards organizations W3C, IETF, FIDO Alliance and OpenID.
