This article covers how to test the factory programmed Yubico one-time password (OTP) credential. If you have overwritten this credential, you can follow Resetting the OTP application on the YubiKey to program a new Yubico OTP credential and upload the credential to YubiCloud.

Testing the Credential

  1. Insert the YubiKey into the computer.
  2. In a web browser, navigate to https://demo.yubico.com/.
  3. Click Verify OTP.
  4. Tap the capacitive touch sensor on the YubiKey. The OTP appears in the Yubico OTP field. It should start with "cc" or "vv". If it does not start with these letters, the credential has been overwritten, and you need to program a new OTP credential (see above).
  5. Click VALIDATE if necessary.
