Product placement
Yubico: ACTS - it is a security key that provides two-factor authentication and can be plugged into USB ports or tapped to phones. It is used to log into accounts.

Removing it would change how the creator finds compatible applications. Google verification code: APPEARS - it is a code displayed on screen, not a product. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Twitter login code: APPEARS - it is a code displayed on screen, not a product. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
