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.
