Yubico Authenticator app for iOS updated with NFC support
Summary
Yubico, the company behind the security keys used by many consumers and businesses, has updated its Authenticator app on iOS with support for NFC. The new support means users who have a YubiKey for mobile devices can simply touch the security key to the back of their iPhone rather than plugging the connector into the handset. READ: YubiKey 5Ci is the first security key with Lightning and USB-C The Yubico Authenticator app is exactly what it sounds like — a mobile app that can be used with YubiKey devices to secure accounts that don’t directly offer support for the security keys. An update for the app has been released today that adds the NFC support, which authenticates using a tap on the iPhone. Yubico estimates that NFC makes the authentication process four times faster.
