In order to test and verify that everything is set up properly, click on the "My FIDO2" (or whatever you might have renamed it to) authentication method, then click on "Test method". Your YubiKey is now set up for use with NMC's systems. You'll see a pop-up with a green check mark indicating that your "My FIDO2 (YubiKey, TouchID, etc.)" was saved successfully ( figure 7) and it will now show up under your list of available authentication methods ( figure 8). If you skip this last step, nothing you just did will count and you'll have to start over. Regardless of the browser you're using, once you've touched the YubiKey, you will see a confirmation screen ( figure 6) Authorizing Your YubiKey Figure 5 Figure 6 If you're using Chrome, click "USB security key" and you should be prompted to touch your YubiKey ( figure 5).

You can use your phone to set up MFA using Advanced Authentication, but if you can't / don't want to use your personal mobile phone for authentication then we offer an alternative: a YubiKey. In order to connect to NMC’s VPN service or log into certain NMC resources, we require Multi-Factor Authentication (also called MFA) to enhance security.
