When trying to sign in using the Chrome browser in iOS, tapping the Yubikey to the phone does not work as a second factor. I set up all my Google accounts to use the Yubikey, and also Facebook and Github. If you hold the Yubikey up to the back of the phone (near the top, next to the camera lens cluster), it will pop up an alert that asks if you want to open a web page in Safari for verification. I have an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 13.3 Beta.
I just bought a pair of Yubikey 5 NFC security keys, as a more convenient alternative to phone apps like FreeOTP, Authy, Duo Mobile, or Google Authenticator to generate a numeric one-type second factor for logins.ĭespite the description, the Yubikey 5 NFC does not work well with iOS. PROTIP: Set up BOTH your primary key and a backup at the same time, especially for accounts where the physical key is required and is the only U2F accepted. If you're thinking of getting one to NFC tap the key to your phone when prompted for a security key as a second factor, this does NOT work. TL DR Works in principle on iOS, but does not work in practice.
