The new key is basically a simplified consumer version of the standard YubiKey 5 devices. In addition to the new Lightning key, the company also today announced the launch of its new Security Key NFC, which supports authentication for FIDO2/WabAuthn and U2F services on computers and mobile devices with NFC support. These two products deliver on our mission to enable a passwordless future for all.” “Today at CES, we are excited to introduce the addition of NFC to our Security Key Series, and reveal our YubiKey for Lightning. “Yubico’s goal is to make strong, simple authentication truly ubiquitous, across all services, devices, and operating systems,” said the company’s CEO and founder Stina Ehrensvärd in today’s announcement. With this, Yubico is also announcing that it is extending its developer program to iOS developers who want to use the company’s software tools for two-factor authentication. Thanks to that, you’ll be able to use it on both modern Macs and iPhones. One nifty feature of the new key is that it has both USB-C and Lightning connectors - one on each side. Once it is widely available, this will mark the first time the company offers a key that supports iPad and iPhone users. Yubico, the company behind the almost ubiquitous YubiKey two-factor authentication dongles, today announced that its YubiKey for Lightning is now in private preview.
