Facebook, founded in 2004, implemented strong two-factor authentication (2FA) for its development environment to secure user accounts against cyberattacks. As part of its security strategy, Facebook leverages Yubico's YubiKeys—hardware security keys that provide phishing-resistant 2FA. These keys ensure that even with a password, unauthorized access is prevented by requiring the physical presence of the security key. This approach strengthens login security for developers and employees without disrupting their workflow, balancing strong protection with usability. YubiKeys support seamless integration with Facebook's 2FA system, enhancing overall digital security on the platform.
