A small update about Yubikey Tools. Now they are supporting Offline authentication. First you run GinaConsole tool to enable Offline mode. You will have to provide Private ID and AES Key in order to activate the feature:
Then, there is a new CheckBox available in Logon dialog which controls the Offline authentication behavior:
As of today we are using Yubikey to access our Web Site management console, in addition to standard username/password logon process. Enabling 2-factor authentication on our Web Site was a simple task; it turned out to be an easy 3-steps process:
and that’s it! Enjoying hardened security already… (:
A new addition to the collection is under way. AutoLock will remember your Yubikey and lock out the computer once the device is removed. You will have to Logon to Windows in order to unlock the computer. AutoLock will continue to work in background, waiting for your Yubikey arrival, and will start monitoring it again. Coming soon…
