WatchGuard AuthPoint vs. YubiKey

WatchGuard AuthPoint protects workforce logins to desktops, VPNs, and cloud applications, from Windows and macOS sign-in to Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS. It runs on WatchGuard Cloud, the same console that manages WatchGuard network and endpoint security. An MSP or an IT team can cover identity without adding another vendor to the stack. When MFA alone is not enough Day-to-day authentication runs through the AuthPoint mobile app, with push, QR code, or one-time password. QR and OTP work when the device has no network connection.

Yubico is a modern cybersecurity company, focused on stopping cyber attacks in their tracks. Most attackers don’t break in—they log in. Companies often rely on legacy passwords and authenticator apps, that are easily bypassed by modern AI-powered hackers and create a false sense of security. We believe the future is passwordless, and Yubico's security keys, known as YubiKeys, deliver unbeatable protection by eliminating these vulnerabilities while enabling a fast, frictionless experience users love.
