Probably the bigger disconnect there in a Apple product heavy context is the disconnect between Apple's approach to "Two Factor" authentication and what Yubico's approach is. Today, the Security Key NFC works out of the box with hundreds of services already supporting FIDO U2F and FIDO2 authentication protocols: including Microsoft (for passwordless login), Google, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, a growing list of password managers, and many more FIDO2 and U2F compatible websites ('')." The link at the top of the article to Yubico's announcement has more (which is basically Yubico's job to sell Yubico's product). That kind of depends upon how lazy they are. 99.9% of people don't know what this is for or how it works or why they'd need or want it and this little article didn't change that. The key provides a virtual keyboard and a target for folks who have weaved Yubico APIs into their software.

If your favorite web browser is Yubikey clueless then it won't work so well. It would be the software present on the OS that would be the real concern. IOS is probably more so a 'use' than admin/set. ( admin and the higher end configuration is probably tied to macOS). What associated software (and versions of same) engaged would far more be a factor on macOS. One is Ligthining and one is Type-C some chip on basically the same USB bus.Īnyone know if the USB-C versions work with the 2018 iPad Pro or the 2018 etc MBPs? Type-C or Type-A doesn't make a material difference to what YubiKey does. There are two sides to that particular device.

This Lightning version is a USB-C version. YubiKey for Lightning is in a private preview and available only for participants in the YubiKey for Lightning program, with more information on general availability to come at a later date.Įxcept when Apple phases out lighting for USB-C like on the new iPad Pro and MacBook Pros.at least they already have a USB-C version. Yubico is launching a YubiKey for Lightning program, which will let developers and services adopt support for the YubiKey. The new accessory will offer up seamless authentication across Apple's desktop and mobile devices. YubiKey for Lightning, which has been approved by Apple, has been designed to be used with both Lightning devices and Apple's latest Macs thanks to a Lightning connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other end. Yubico has long offered USB-A, USB-C, and NFC-based YubiKey options for PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, but there has never been a Lightning-based option before. Yubico, a company that makes physical security keys for physical two-factor authentication, today announced the upcoming launch of a Lightning-based YubiKey device that will work with Apple's iPhones and iPads.
