How do the Google iOS apps handle authentication, since NFC security keys aren’t supported by Apple?

  I believe the Feitan key mentioned in the article supports Bluetooth LE. If you go to their website it shows that they support iOS. https://www.ftsafe.com/products/FIDO/Multi#Compatibility https://www.ftsafe.com/products/FIDO/Multi#Compatibility

  If you're signing into a Google app, it'll kick you over to the Google Smart Lock app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-smart-lock/id1152066360?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-smart-lock/id11520663... I don't think it supports things like Safari though.

  NFC keys are now a possible reality since iOS 11 API opened up the hardware to developers. Here's an example: https://github.com/hansemannn/iOS11-NFC-Example https://github.com/hansemannn/iOS11-NFC-Example

    For the record, it's only possible to READ tags using iOS 11.
