Microsoft 365 customers are eligible to apply for a free Go Passwordless Starter Kit which includes two multi-protocol security keys – YubiKey 5 NFC and YubiKey 5C.
Only organizations that meet the qualification requirements shall be eligible to receive a Go Passwordless Starter Kit.
It also says "Microsoft 365 customers", unsure if they mean Microsoft Office365, or just Microsoft 365 which is a different product to what most people have.
Given it specifically mentions Windows 10 and Azure AD, im thinking it is Microsoft 365, not Office365 based on the bundles. Pretty sure this would need Azure AD Premium etc for hardware keys for MFA on Azure AD.
Submitted and will wait 2 weeks to see. I'm curious to see if my MPN level will make a difference.
How badly will you get spammed by all those companies?
Yubico or Microsoft? I'd say almost not at all.
I am a bit reluctant to submit the application as it gets sent to so many places, especially Salesforce and their affiliates. On the fence at the moment.
I have returned my yubikey nfc as it is not compatible with my android.
That's not Yubico's fault?
When you do get a yubikey working on android how does it work? Does it lock the whole phone and function as an alternative to a PIN or a fingerprint?
I think the idea is that you can use it to sign into websites that use U2F tokens.
The reason I ask is that I have a yubikey permanently in a usb slot on the pc I am typing this on. If it's not there you can't access anything on the pc. Well I can't anyway. If that was what a yubikey did on an android phone I would be mildly interested but if it's only app specific I'm not interested at all.
Only for companies ?
While probably yes, i doubt anyone is using Azure AD Premium and MFA for personal use anyway.
Yeah, I think they mean Office 365 Business not Personal.
Microsoft 365 is the level above that. It has the same features as office 365 business premium, but also adds security features only really useful for smb or above. Costs $10 a month more per user. https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/business

Thanks just submitted one.
Got an email rejecting the application. Due to overwhelming demand they are unable to fulfil.
same here. But with a discount code for $20… lame.
One of the lucky ones, applied Wed midday, got email about applications being reviewed, received approval email Sat morning.
Whelp it's been a month and finally received shipping confirmation email. O_o
Shipment coming via USPS from Gilroy, CA so let's see how much longer till I get the package.
Yubikeys arrived today, nearly six weeks later. Woohoo!
Applied, got email about reviewing application, nothing since. That was 3 weeks ago.
I got an email on Friday saying it had been approved and then an email today saying it had shipped. Wahoo!
