Say farewell to your password, thanks to YubiKey and Surface Pro 10 for business



What you need to know

  • Microsoft recently announced the Surface Pro 10 for business, which features a built-in NFC reader.
  • Yubico and Microsoft worked together to allow YubiKeys to fully take advantage of the NFC reader in the Surface Pro 10 for business.
  • Surface Pro 10 users can use a YubiKey at Windows login to authenticate their identity via NFC.

Microsoft announced its Surface Pro 10 for business and Surface Laptop 6 for business yesterday. The Surface Pro 10 for business has a built-in NFC, which opens the door for several business features. Perhaps most importantly is that the PC having a built-in NFC reader allows Yubico and Microsoft to work together to provide full YubiKey support.

Shortly after the announcement of the Surface Pro 10 for business, Yubico explained how a YubiKey can be used to log into a device and authenticate a user, all without requiring a password.
