These breaches can cause harm to an organization, such as\nregulatory fines, business downtime, or even worse, reputational damage. In\nterms of authentication, passwords have been the backbone of online security\nfor decades, however, they're increasingly proving inadequate against\nsophisticated cyber threats.\n\n\nGitLab and [Yubico](https://www.yubico.com/) have partnered to strengthen\nsoftware development security through robust authentication measures. Yubico\nis the inventor of the YubiKey, a hardware security key that delivers\nphishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA). By implementing FIDO\nUniversal 2nd Factor (U2F) and YubiKey hardware protection, GitLab offers\ndevelopers a powerful defense against phishing attacks and other cyber\nthreats, ensuring their code and projects remain secure. This collaboration\nexpands enterprise-grade authentication in the GitLab platform, allowing\nprogrammers to focus on creating software while maintaining confidence in\ntheir account's integrity.\n\n\nThis article explains how to configure GitLab to use YubiKeys to protect\ndevelopers from online threats. You’ll also learn how to further prevent\ntampering with GitLab verified commits.\n\n\n## How YubiKeys work\n\n\nAt their core, YubiKeys function as cryptographic hardware tokens that\ngenerate and store private keys in a secure element. These keys implement\nFIDO2/WebAuthn authentication protocols, which can be used as an additional\nfactor to login to GitLab.\n\n\nHere's how it works when logging in:\n\n\n1. You enter your username and password.\n\n2. GitLab sends a cryptographic challenge to your browser.\n\n3. Your browser requests the YubiKey to sign this challenge.\n\n4. You physically touch the YubiKey to approve.\n\n5. The YubiKey creates a unique cryptographic signature for that specific\nservice and challenge.\n\n6. GitLab verifies the signature using your public key stored during setup.\n\n\nMost major security breaches involve compromised passwords. Adding a YubiKey\nsecures your account from a remote breach, even if your password is stolen,\nso you can rest assured that your GitLab account is secure. Additional key\nsecurity benefits of using YubiKey for authentication with GitLab include:\n\n\n* **Phishing protection:** Fake sites won't have the correct cryptographic\nkeys to verify the response.\n\n* **No secrets to steal:** The private key never leaves the YubiKey.\n\n* **Physical security:** Physical presence is required to use it (you must\ntouch the YubiKey).\n\n\n## Setting up YubiKey multifactor authentication in GitLab\n\n\nNow let’s go over how to set up a Yubikey for multifactor authentication in\nGitLab. Make sure you're using a [supported browser and operating\nsystem](https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016615020-Operating-system-and-web-browser-support-for-FIDO2-and-U2F)\nas they have better WebAuthn support for hardware security keys.\n\n\n1. First, log in to your GitLab account and go to your user settings (click\nyour avatar in the top left corner and select **Preferences**).\n\n2. In the left sidebar, click on **Account** and navigate to the\n**Two-factor Authentication** section.\n\n3. If you haven't already enabled 2FA, you'll need to do that first.\n\n    a. Click **Enable two-factor authentication**.\n\n    b. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.\n\n    c. Enter the code from your authenticator app.\n\n    d. Enter your GitLab password. If you ever need to access your GitLab account without using Google authentication, you may need to:\n    * Use the **Forgot password** option on the GitLab login page to set up a separate GitLab password.\n    * Contact your GitLab administrator to help you set up alternative login methods.\n\n   e. Save your recovery codes in a safe place.\n\n4. Once 2FA is enabled, go back to the previous screen by pressing **Manage\ntwo-factor authentication** and scroll down to the **Register hardware\ntoken** section.\n\n5. Press the **Set up new device** button.\n    a. A popup from your browser should appear. **Note:** This image may look different depending on your browser. You may also get popups from password managers feel free to ignore them.\n\n![Browser (Brave) Auth\nRequest](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674606/Blog/Content%20Images/browser_auth_request.png)\n\n\n    b. Select **Use a phone, tablet, or security key**.\n\n\n6. A new popup will appear.\n\n\n![browser security key\nrequest](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674607/Blog/Content%20Images/browser_security_key_request.png)\n\n\n    a. Insert your YubiKey into your computer's USB port.\n\n\n    b. Touch the metal contact/button on your YubiKey when\nprompted. The field will automatically fill with a one-time code.\n\n\n7. Enter your GitLab Password and provide a name for your Hardware Key.\n\n8. Click **Register** to add the YubiKey to your account.\n\n\nCongratulations, your YubiKey is now registered and can be used as a second\nfactor when logging into GitLab! You can register multiple YubiKeys to your\naccount for backup purposes. **Note:** The process may vary slightly among\nbrowsers.\n\n\n![yubikey\nregistered](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674607/Blog/Content%20Images/yubikey_registered.png)\n\n\n\u003Ccenter>\u003Ci>YubiKey registered successfully\u003C/i>\u003C/center>\n\n\n## Signing in with a YubiKey\n\n\nNow that we have our YubiKey configured, we can log in as follows:\n\n\n1. Go to GitLab.com.\n\n\n![GitLab\nlogin](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674607/Blog/Content%20Images/gitlab_login.png)\n\n\n2. Provide your username and password and then press the **Sign in** button.\n\n3. You will be sent to the following screen.\n\n\n![GitLab 2fa\nlogin](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674606/Blog/Content%20Images/2fa_login.png)\n\n\n    a. A popup, like the one below, should come up. **Note:** This\nimage may look different depending on your browser. You may also get popups\nfrom password managers; feel free to ignore them.\n\n\n![Browser security key\nrequest](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674607/Blog/Content%20Images/browser_security_key_request.png)\n\n\n    b. Insert your YubiKey into your computer's USB port.\n\n\n    c. Touch the metal contact/button on your YubiKey when\nprompted. The field will automatically fill with a one-time code.\n\n\nNow, you should be logged in and taken to your GitLab page. **Note:** The\nprocess may vary slightly among browsers.\n\n\n## What happens if I lose my YubiKey?\n\n\nYubico recommends that you use and keep a backup YubiKey. When considering\nyour home, car, or office, you wouldn’t think twice about having a backup\nkey to keep in a safe place. Your digital self should get the same level of\nconsideration. A backup YubiKey kept in a safe place provides a quick and\nsafe backup if your primary YubiKey is lost. Keeping a backup will also\neasily enable you to deactivate the lost YubiKey and add a new primary or\nsecondary YubiKey.\n\n\nIf you do not have an additional YubiKey added, it is recommended to have\nanother form of 2FA added to your accounts. In either case, you should be\nable to get access to your account and remove the lost key from the account.\nPlease note that if a spare key or another authentication method hasn’t been\nadded, you will need to contact the service/website for help with recovering\nyour account.\n\n\n## GitLab verified commits\n\n\nTo further prevent tampering, you can also configure verified commits.\nVerified commits in GitLab use GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) signatures to prove\nthat a commit actually came from you. This adds another layer of security on\ntop of authentication by ensuring that not only is your account secure, but\nevery code change can be cryptographically verified as coming from you.\n\n\nYour YubiKey can store GPG keys:\n\n\n* The private key is stored securely on the YubiKey.\n\n* The public key is shared with GitLab.\n\n* The key pair is used to sign your commits.\n\n\nOnce the GPG keys have been set up:\n\n\n* When you make a commit, Git uses your private key to create a signature.\n\n* The GPG key is accessed from the attached YubiKey.\n\n* The signature is stored with the commit metadata.\n\n* GitLab verifies the signature using your public key.\n\n\n## Setting up verified commits\n\n\nLet’s go over how to configure verified commits. In this example, the GPG\nkey will live inside your YubiKey, providing an extra layer of security.\n\n\n1. Install required software.\n\n\n```bash\n\n# On macOS\n\nbrew install --cask yubico-yubikey-manager\n\nbrew install gnupg gpg yubikey-manager\n\n\n# On Ubuntu/Debian\n\nsudo apt install gnupg gpg yubikey-personalization\n\n\n# On Windows\n\n# Download and install Gpg4win from https://gpg4win.org\n\n```\n\n\n2. Check YubiKey GPG status.\n\n\n```bash\n\ngpg --card-status\n\n```\n\n3. Generate GPG keys directly on YubiKey (more secure).\n\n\n```bash\n\n# Start GPG edit mode\n\ngpg --card-edit\n\n\n# Enter admin mode\n\nadmin\n\n\n# Generate key directly on card\n\n# PIN = '123456' | Admin PIN = '12345678'\n\ngenerate\n\n\n# Follow prompts\n\n# See documentation for more info\n\n#\nhttps://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013790259-Using-Your-YubiKey-with-OpenPGP\n\n```\n\n\n4. Export your public key.\n\n\n```bash\n\n# Get your key ID\n\ngpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG\n\n\n# Export the public key\n\ngpg --armor --export YOUR_KEY_ID\n\n```\n\n\n5. Add the public key to GitLab.\n\n    a. Click on your GitLab Avatar and select **Preferences**.\n\n    b. On the side tab select **GPG Keys**.\n\n    c. Click **Add new key**.\n\n    d. Paste your public key.\n\n    e. Click **Add key**.\n\n6. Configure Git.\n\n\n```bash\n\n# Set signing key\n\ngit config --global user.signingkey YOUR_KEY_ID\n\n\n# Enable automatic signing\n\ngit config --global commit.gpgsign true\n\n\n# Tell GPG which key to use\n\necho \"default-key YOUR_KEY_ID\" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf\n\n```\n\n\n7. Now let’s test the configuration by creating a test commit in a project:\n\n\n```bash\n\n# Make a change in the project\n\n# Add changes\n\ngit add .\n\n\n# Make a test commit\n\ngit commit -S -m \"Test signed commit\"\n\n\n# Verify signature\n\ngit verify-commit HEAD\n\n\n# Push the change\n\ngit push\n\n```\n\n\nThe `git verify-commit HEAD` command should show the GPG key used:\n\n\n```bash\n\ngpg: Signature made Wed Feb 26 11:45:00 2025 CST\n\ngpg:                using RSA key YOUR_KEY_ID\n\ngpg: Good signature from “NAME (DESCRIPTION) \u003CEMAIL>\" [ultimate]\n\n```\n\n\nThen, when viewing the commit in GitLab, you should now see that the commit\nis verified as follows:\n\n\n![Commit is\nverified](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749674607/Blog/Content%20Images/verified.png)\n\n\n\u003Ccenter>\u003Ci>Commit verified with GPG key\u003C/i>\u003C/center>\n\n\u003Cbr>\u003C/br>\n\n\nYou can also use the [commits\nAPI](https://docs.gitlab.com/api/commits/#get-signature-of-a-commit) to\ncheck a commit’s signature allowing you to further operationalize the\nverification workflow.\n\n\n## Learn more\n\n\nTo learn more about GitLab, Yubico, and the solutions each provides, check\nout these resources:\n\n\n* [Why
