YubiKey Manager
YubiKey Manager is Yubico's official configuration utility for YubiKey hardware security keys. It provides a graphical interface for verifying YubiKey models, checking firmware versions, configuring FIDO2 PINs, managing OTP and PIV functionality, and enabling or disabling various authentication protocols. The app works with any currently supported YubiKey model and requires no additional drivers. It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and operates entirely offline once installed. Users include security-conscious individuals, developers and organizations that deploy YubiKeys for two-factor authentication and passwordless login.

1 suggestionYubiKey Manager has been updated to a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs. According to a 2026 setup guide confirmed by the vendor, the current .pkg installer is universal and supports both Intel and M-series Macs without any special configuration. If you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, download the latest YubiKey Manager installer from Yubico's website at yubico.com/support/download/yubikey-manager/ and install it — the new version will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and install the native build. Your YubiKey configuration and settings will carry over without migration. After updating, you will see improved performance and no longer depend on Rosetta, which Apple is removing in macOS 28 (September 2028).
