We've got the question a couple of times - given that the new Yubikey 2.0 is completely monolithic - is it waterproof ?
The answer is yes ! There is however "grades" what really waterproof means. Preliminary tests indicate that we'll at least meet Ingress Protection class IP67, probably even IP68. Salt water is a slightly different game as it can cause corrosion. If the Yubikey is rinsed in water and dried, it should however be fine.
