Do they work any better on iPhones? ----- I decided couple of months ago to secure entire family. Bought half dozen Neos, worked out all the kinks on my computer + Android phone first, put everything in LastPass (I know, I know, I know... but you have to consider the target audience ;).... only to discover on "go-live" that my wife's iPhone 6s is bloody useless with the thing. Apparently iPhone doesn't fully grok NFC or something? Not sure... :-/

Apple decided that users cannot use the NFC chip in it except for Apple Pay (for the foreseeable future). You don't really 'own' an Iphone in that sense.

  users cannot use the NFC chip in it except for Apple Pay That... boggles my mind :-O Thanks for the info. My wife is unfortunately locked into iPhone due to work standard, but something to keep in mind long-term.

    That's it - iPhone is the new Blackberry.

    For U2F at least, Bluetooth solutions should be arriving. If Yubico does its on (they have said that they are working on it) they might additionally let you use the OTP stuff. That said, LassPass says that when Firefox supports U2F, they will also try to support it. So maybe the OTP stuff is not that important. Dashlane Password Manager already supports it.

    Found these as confirmation, based on Freak_NL's pointer; by design, NFC is used for a single purpose on iPhone 6 & 7 currently. Will Apple support NFC tags in iOS 10 for the iPhone 7? : https://gototags.com/blog/will-apple-finally-support-nfc-tag-reading-ios-10-iphone-7/ https://gototags.com/blog/will-apple-finally-support-nfc-tag... https://gototags.com/blog/apple-iphone-7-support-nfc-tags/ https://gototags.com/blog/apple-iphone-7-support-nfc-tags/

    Yup. That said, Apple doesn't advertise the iPhone as having NFC. It's just an implementation detail for the features they do advertise.

  Actually they can. Features are being added, for example using iphone's nfc chip as a work pass.

    cite? first I've heard of it.

      I can't cite it right now, but I can ask iOS devs from our mobile team to provide sources on that. I've been told it was recently added to the API.

Get a Lightning to Camera (USB) adapter. Works fine here.

The yubikey is the something you have. You can use the iphone in place of that.
