In the beginning of this year I got a YubiKey NEO from a colleague. As I
was already using LastPass to manage my passwords I wanted use my YubiKey as part of the two factor authentication process.
You can register your YubiKey by going to the premium “Multi-factor options” in your LastPass account settings and enabling the YubiKey option. For the two factor authentication to work you need to press the button on the YubiKey to generate a OTP (One Time Password) which will be stored with LastPass.
When I tried this for the first time I ran into a problem and got the following error: “At least one of the YubiKey tokens provided failed to validate.”. Copy and pasting this error in Google led me to a post on the LastPass support forum in which the solution was provided.
Thank you for contacting LastPass Support.
You need to set your YubiKey configuration to OTP authentication mode:

Once that is done, visit the following URL: https://lastpass.com/debug.php and where it says ‘YubiKey with LastPass’, run the authenticator to make sure everything is working properly.
If no issues found, try to setup the YubiKey once again:

Let me know how it goes.
Best,

After enabling OTP I could register my key and start using it with LastPass.
