# How to Use YubiKey for Two-factor Authentication (2FA) on Binance

## What is a Yubikey?

A YubiKey is a small electronic device that works as a security key and can be used for various authentication methods. On Binance, security keys can provide an extra layer of account security, acting as a [**Two-factor Authentication (2FA)**](https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/115000433432) method for logging in to your account, withdrawing funds, and resetting passwords. While there are other types of security keys, this guide focuses on the YubiKey. 

Note:

* You can bind up to 5 Yubikeys to your account, each Yubikey has the same access right to your account;
* Any bound Yubikeys can be used to verify your account.
