If you enjoy my documentation and find it useful, please consider donating just $1.00 as it will help immensely. It takes a lot of time to convert my personal notes into documentation that everyone can read and follow, including screenshots. I have a huge library of tutorials related to the Yubikey that I plan on adding here

## <mark style="color:red;">❊ About</mark>

This is a Yubikey guide that has been compiled through many weeks of trial and error. It includes tutorials for configuring your Yubikey with various different technologies and programs, as well as a brief explanation of how things work.

Pages and files are subject to change. I have a lot of guides saved locally to my computer, and it will take a bit of time to convert them over to this doc repository.

Guides are broken up in several different "books". You can select the different books by clicking the dropdown box at the top-left of the title:
