USB Security Key Info

For users without a smartphone, or those who do not wish to use their smartphone, USI IT offers physical USB security keys as an alternative to the Okta Verify app. The physical USB security keys that we have chosen are the "Security Key by Yubico", or "Security Key NFC by Yubico". You can also use another FIDO2/WebAuthn security key, but we are only supporting the Yubico versions.
