I would like to add another Yubikey and I am not seeing how. I have two keys, one for my mobile phone (USB C) and another that is a regular USB. How do I add an additional Yubikey as I am not seeing a way to do that in my profile on the Akeeba website.

It is possible ever since we launched this feature in 2016 with Akeeba LoginGuard. The Joomla! built-in feature in Joomla! 4.2 and later – what we now use on our site – is, in fact, Akeeba LoginGuard. I just contributed that code back to Joomla!. So, it's fairly easy :)

Go to My Account, My Profile from the top menu.

Click on Edit Profile.

Scroll down to Multi-factor Authentication.

Now, it depends on how you want to use the YubiKey.

A. For Yubico OTP (standard security)

Under YubiKey there's a button "Add a new YubiKey". Click on it to add another YubiKey.

B. As a WebAuthn authenticator (via the YubiKey's FIDO2 feature, maximum security)

Under "Web Authentication" there's a button "Add a new Web Authentication". Click on it to register another YubiKey as a WebAuthn authenticator.
