When using Foundation, you have the option to register a Recovery Device. A Recovery Device ensures you can regain control of your account securely without needing to go through support. It is an important step for protecting your access.
Note: The only device currently compatible with Foundation is the YubiKey 5C NFC.
How to Add a Recovery Device
Follow the steps below to register your YubiKey as a Recovery Device:
Open the Foundation app on your phone.
Navigate to the Devices tab.
Tap on Add Recovery Device.
Enter the PIN for your YubiKey.
If you haven’t set a PIN yet, you’ll need to download the YubiKey Authenticator app from Yubico's website or your app store. From there, you can create and manage your PIN.
After entering your PIN, you’ll be prompted to use your YubiKey.
Tap your YubiKey against your phone’s NFC reader (usually located near the top of the device).
Once your phone successfully reads the YubiKey, your Recovery Device will be registered, and you’ll see a confirmation in the app.
