Fireblocks requires a strong method of authentication for transaction signing and authorization. The Fireblocks mobile app uses a device’s biometric sensor for authentication by default.
For customers seeking an alternative authentication method, Fireblocks allows customers the ability to authenticate using Yubikey.
This article describes the steps to setting up a Yubikey 5 NFC device for authentication on the Fireblocks mobile app. The procedure involves initializing the Yubikey device and sending a list of parameters to Fireblocks to associate the initialized device with a workspace user.
