Yubico Forum

hold sensitive info as regards the yubikey?

reason i ask is that i have had to restore my system because the mouse started acting erratically. on restoring ive used several online virus scanners to supplement my main one and everything seems fine now though i had 42 threats according to ESET after restore (1st online scan and scanner). well to finish i scanned in full everything mode with my installed antivirus and looked at the settings of my main anti-virus on my computer and the blocking function has the yubico personalization tool uninstall as a do not examine (exception). this didnt make sense to me -why not have it all in it so basically because i received no answer to my previous post in this forum and viewed the matter important uploaded the file to VirusTotal community which i got from my hitmanpro program (which mentioned it in settings) expecting for it to be scanned and just receive a reply. well i just looked at the additional details on the website and its got all sorts of info SHA1, SHA256, MD5 ,ssdeep with is it hex code after them and well the file goes for scrutiny.. do i need to reconfigure my yubikeys?

thanks in advance

Hello Chris,

No you do not need to reconfigure your Yubikey. However if you had viruses in you system they may have recorded your Yubikey password ( if you have one ) in which case it would be better to change all your password including the one stored in the Yubikey.
