Yubico, the physical authentication key company, announced two new products Tuesday, as it continues to make its key fob-like authenticators available on more platforms. The YubiKey for Lightning is geared specifically for Mac and iOS users, but is in a private preview phase while Yubico and third-party developers work on making the keys more compatible with Apple devices. The other announced product, the Security Key NFC, is a USB-A key that has near field communication capability. It combines some functionalities of the company’s standard security key and the YubiKey 5 NFC, both of which were updated in Yubico’s Series 5 line released in September. The new key supports FIDO2, a standard for hardware-based, passwordless authentication, as well as the older FIDO U2F two-factor authentication. However, some authentication protocols included in other keys aren’t supported in the new key. Yubico says the Security Key NFC “works out-of-the-box” with many popular services and […]

Yubico, the Swedish-American company that helped popularize key-shaped physical authentication tokens, has released a new line of products geared toward passwordless logins that give users secure access to software and online services without typing anything. The company’s fifth generation of YubiKeys work with the new FIDO2 protocol in addition to other authentication methods. The result is that they “can be used alone for strong single-factor authentication, requiring no username or password to login — just tap or touch to authenticate,” Yubico said Monday. Use of FIDO2 is supported by major browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge. YubiKey integration is also available with popular platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter. FIDO was developed by an alliance of technology companies to allow users to simply plug in or tap an authenticator key instead of using a static password. Companies are now slowly adopting the standard into their products. The combination of methods […]
