Have they ever figured out compatibility with iOS? I feel like this is the biggest thing holding them back from broader adoption.

NFC? AIUI, they can't support it until Apple does.

They are working on Bluetooth LE version. Should make it possible. But its really all the fault of apple stupid NFC police, not some other issue.

Now that iOS supports USB keyboards, it might work. Not sure why I haven't tried it since that came out, but I'll give it a shot and report back.

  iOS has supported USB keyboards for 6.5 years now.

    But it didn't provide enough USB power I thought for the Yubikey. I'd heard this changed, but I have a feeling you'd know better than me there! ;) (Long time no chat btw!)

      I haven't actually researched this topic, but it looks like the current Lighting Camera Adapter (which is how you get a USB port) advertises "USB 3", so presumably that means it offers enough power (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter?fnode=91 http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb...). (Jeremy, is that you? Long time indeed!)

Have you tried to setup a Yubikey with RSA-keys and click-to-sign? It's things you expect "just to work", but the tooling around the Yubikey sucks big time and thats what holding them back. It's a shame though cause they make really good hardware. Their strategy has been to gain tracktion through the major tech players. Think it's time for Stina to realize they cannot ignore the rest of us if they want to make it big.

  What competitors have tools that just work? For the most part there provided guis work wunderfully. GPG is of course always a mess. I agree with click to sign, that seems to be a bit hacky, otherwise however its fine.
