# YubiKey

Remote Desktop Manager allows you to use a ***YubiKey*** to provide an additional security layer when opening a workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before you start the configuration, make sure you have a ***YubiKey*** in your possession.
{% endhint %}

1. If not already done, follow these [multifactor authentication configuration steps](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/multi-factor-authentication/).
2. After having selected the ***YubiKey*** MFA type, click ***Configure***.
3. Insert the ***YubiKey*** into a USB port of your computer.
4. Hold the gold button on the ***YubiKey*** to have the code filled in the field.
5. Click ***Save***.
6. Relaunch Remote Desktop Manager to be prompted for a ***YubiKey*** code.

### Copy to YubiKey

Upon connecting a YubiKey to your system, the ***Copy to YubiKey*** appears in the content area of credential entries. Clicking the button automatically copies the content of the entry to your key.
