Very sorry to report, but your coupon is no longer valid. :(

To the last commenter – I received mine in the mail yesterday and took it for a test drive today.

It works really nice, can’t wait to put it to use “across the board.”

I believe this giveaway was for the month of December 2009.

I was notified by email in January that I was one of the lucky winners, and I can vouch for Martin’s integrity. I received my YubiKey in the mail just today!

Thanks Martin!

When does the giveaway end? If it already took place, I haven’t seen any post announcing who got it.

How long is the coupon code good at Yubico? I just went to order the pair and it seems to have expired already.

@Sonja –

Why are you implying that Dr. Björck still does not trust the Yubikey?

The weaknesses were revealed over a year ago. Some were addressed quickly and Björck updated his article TWICE within one day (2009-02-23). He also posted this, over six months later:

“NOTE! (Added 2009-08-30): Please note that most of these security issues described in this article are now fixed, or the risk reduced. Please read http://security.dj/?p=154 for more information.”

There is also a wealth of newer information here:

I have been following Security Now and that is how I discovered Yubikey. I would love to have one!

It would be the perfect security tool for my netbook.

Do you accept only comments full of praises to YubiKey? How about some truth? Security Evangelist Dr. Fredrik Björck in his blog shares security review of YubiKey OTP token – http://security.dj/?p=4 .

So how do we know if these were ever given away, or if this was fake since nothing is ever announced? Seems fishy to me…

The yubikey is a great idea since it introduces that necessary extra layer of protection needed when using lastpass on public computers :).

I was about to order one online, but I may just wait to see if I can win one :)
