<p class="eyebrow">YubiKey PRF guide</p>
<h2 id="yubikey-guide-title">Set up YubiKey password generation</h2>
<p>
YubiKey mode is for high-value accounts such as email, banking,
GitHub, PayPal, and crypto. It requires Windows 11 and a YubiKey
that supports PRF/hmac-secret. GoblinPass does not use the YubiKey
as ordinary login-only 2FA; the PRF result becomes part of the
generated password.
</p>
</div>
<div class="content-cards two-column">
<article>
<h3>Before you start</h3>
<p>
Use Windows 11 with a current Chromium-based browser and a YubiKey
that supports PRF/hmac-secret. If PRF data is not returned,
GoblinPass stops instead of generating a normal fallback password.
</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3>What changes</h3>
<p>
With YubiKey enabled, the password recipe becomes Website ID,
Master Password, optional Additional Secret, and YubiKey PRF.
Without the same YubiKey PRF result, the same password cannot be
regenerated.

Mobile YubiKey PRF support is more inconsistent than Windows 11.

<h3>Website ID</h3>
<p>
Example: <code>22</code>. This is the site number you choose and
reuse for that account. The same ID is needed to regenerate the same
password later.
</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3>Site and login</h3>
<p>
Example: <code>facebook.com</code> and <code>myemail@hotmail.com</code>.
These can help identify the entry locally, especially if you use
alias emails.
</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3>Master Password</h3>
<p>
This is the private secret only you know. GoblinPass uses it during
generation and does not save it in the vault.
</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3>Length and counter</h3>
<p>
Length controls the output size. Counter lets you move to a new
password for the same site without changing the Website ID.

<div id="why-website-id" class="subnav-card">
<a href="security-model.html">Why use a Website ID?</a>
<span>
A private Website ID can reduce how much real account information is
typed into the generator. Unlike entering exact site and login details,
an ID can be meaningless to someone looking over your shoulder or
reading a saved note. It is not magic protection, but it can reduce
exposure when used carefully.

<h3>Optional full login details</h3>
<p>
GoblinPass can include an option to save full login information for
an entry. That can expose the email address used for the account, so
it is best treated as a deliberate choice rather than a default habit.
</p>
</article>
<article>
<h3>Useful with alias emails</h3>
<p>
If you use alias emails, saving the login locally can help you keep
track of which alias belongs to which website. This can be useful
when the information stays local and is protected carefully.

<p>
Settings let you choose optional behaviour once, then keep using the
generator without ticking the same boxes every time. Preferences are
saved locally in the browser, but private secrets such as the master
password and Additional Secret are not saved.

<article><h3>Use unique passwords</h3><p>Every important website should have a unique password. Reusing one password across many sites turns one breach into many possible account takeovers.</p></article>
<article><h3>Protect your email account</h3><p>Your main Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, or private email account should be treated like a master key because it can reset many other accounts.</p></article>
<article><h3>Avoid tiny variations</h3><p>Changing <code>Password1</code> to <code>Password1!</code> is not enough. Attackers often try common variations after a leaked password appears.</p></article>
<article><h3>Use aliases carefully</h3><p>Email aliases can reduce exposure and make leaks easier to isolate, but they do not stop phishing. Still check suspicious emails and links.</p></article>
