Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Yubico does

Yubico makes the YubiKey, a hardware security key used as a second factor or as a passwordless credential. Its online services are separate from the key itself: YubiCloud verifies Yubico OTP codes over the network, while the website and store handle purchases and support. Enterprises also buy YubiKey as a Service, a subscription for distributing keys.

What an outage looks like

Logins that use Yubico OTP fail even though the key lights up and emits a code, because the site verifying that code cannot reach YubiCloud. The failure reads as a rejected credential rather than as a service error, so people assume the key itself has broken. The Yubico store and website can fail separately, affecting purchases rather than authentication.

What to do about it

Check status.yubico.com, which separates YubiCloud OTP verification from the website and the store, since only the first affects logging in. If a site offers another second factor, use it: FIDO2 and WebAuthn sign-in happens between your browser, the key and that site's own server without contacting Yubico, so those logins keep working when YubiCloud does not.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Yubico is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Yubico outage FAQ

Does a Yubico outage stop my YubiKey from working?
Only for sites using Yubico OTP, which is verified over the network by YubiCloud. FIDO2 and WebAuthn logins are handled between the browser, the key and the site's own server, with no Yubico service involved, so those keep working. Most modern passwordless and second-factor sign-ins use WebAuthn, which makes the practical impact narrower than it first appears.
Why does my key look rejected rather than unavailable?
A site that cannot reach YubiCloud usually cannot tell an unverifiable code apart from a wrong one, so it reports a failed login. The key is fine and is still generating valid codes. This is worth knowing before resetting a key or removing it from an account, since both create far more work than waiting out the incident.
Can I still buy or activate keys during an outage?
Yubico lists its store and its website as components separate from OTP verification, so purchasing can fail while authentication is healthy, and the reverse. Enterprise distribution through YubiKey as a Service is tracked separately again. Read the component that matches what you are trying to do rather than assuming one failure implies the others.
Is it Yubico or the site I am logging into?
If one site rejects the key while others accept it, the fault lies with that site or its identity provider rather than with Yubico. If every OTP-based login fails at once while WebAuthn logins succeed, YubiCloud is the likelier cause. The measurements here and the component list on status.yubico.com separate the two.

How we measure this

  • We request Yubico's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Yubico publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
