I hope I can get a simple answer to a (really) simple question. I have a paid webmail account. The webmail provider supports YubiKey. I had a little issue which is now resolved, but which motivated me to get a Yubikey, which I now have. My trawling on the Webmail provider's forum, as well as here, has revealed to me that using Yubikey at home is not really necessary; it is most useful when 'in the wild'.
My questions are:
-can I use it at home anyway, and is there extra security from doing so?
-When I do use it at home, (or elsewhere), does the provider's SMTP server automatically 'see' it when it is touched/activated? Or do I have to set it up with the webmail provider.
-I could, I gather, just choose to use the Yubikey instead of my ever-so-cryptic password which I've been using (and changing from time to time). To me, this seems like a preferred method, even from home. This seems more secure. Is it?
Is there a youtube vid someone has done for old newbies like me? If so, would love the link.
Thanks for bearing with me. BTW, it looks like a snazzy little device.
