Hey folks! I'm curious if anyone knows if a YubiKey 5C NFC can be used for access control with Net2 doors, specifically for fobbing in and out. We're aiming to implement phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication and would love to use the same key for both door access and online security. I've heard it's possible with other systems like 2N, but I can't find any solid documentation confirming compatibility with Net2. I'm also open to buying a key to test it out, but I'm unsure if a specific model or configuration is needed. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

From my experience, no, YubiKeys don’t work with Net2. I’ve tried it myself, and it was a no-go.
So, here's the deal: it really depends on the readers you're using. The standard Paxton readers typically only support RFID, or sometimes RFID plus a PIN. If you're looking to use YubiKeys, you need to confirm if the readers are equipped to handle them. Just a heads-up!
Yep, Paxton does have door readers that can read NFC. But whether a YubiKey specifically will work? I'm not sure! It might be best to reach out to Paxton's tech support; they’re usually pretty helpful.
There are indeed Paxton readers available that support YubiKeys. It's the ones we use at our company, so double-check with them about compatibility!
Most Paxton installations come with standard readers that run on Hitag2, which operates at 125khz. However, if you ask for MIFARE readers, they can handle both MIFARE and Hitag2 cards or fobs. The YubiKey 5 can work in the MIFARE range, but you’d need to program a valid Net2 token into it. It's a bit of a hassle, but it might work if you can get the UID right!
