YubiKeys and A-Trust support for ID Austria – What you should know now

YubiKeys und A-Trust Unterstützung für ID Austria – Was du jetzt wissen solltest

To bring some clarity to the current situation surrounding YubiKeys and their support by A-Trust and ID-Austria, here is the most important information for you (as of September 11, 2024):

  • If you already use a YubiKey with firmware 5.4 and have linked it to ID Austria, you don't need to worry - it will continue to work without any problems.
  • However, new YubiKeys with firmware 5.4 can no longer be registered with A-Trust. This means that this version is no longer supported for new users.
  • YubiKeys with firmware 5.7 are currently pending Level 2 certification with the FIDO Alliance. We expect certification by the end of September. Once certification is complete, these YubiKeys can be used for ID Austria.

How do I find out what firmware my YubiKey has?
To find out your YubiKey's firmware version, you can use the YubiKey Manager . Simply connect your YubiKey, open the software, and you'll see your device's firmware version.

Further questions?
For detailed support on using YubiKeys with A-Trust, you can also contact A-Trust Support . There you'll find helpful information and contacts if you need assistance.

We'll keep you updated and let you know as soon as there's any news!
