I agree it's annoying. They're working on it, but they should have really enabled it sooner. There's no technical reason, iPhone has the necessary NFC hardware.

- dontbenebby 8y agoInteresting link, thanks! For the time being, passphrases + TOTP 2F are sufficient, but I will look forward to being able to use a security key instead.

- velosol 8y agoTheir main page for mobile heavily implies they are already there with iPhone/NFC. https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-for-mobile/ https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-for-mobile/
- ak217 8y agoActually, you're right - that capability has apparently been available since last year: https://www.yubico.com/2018/05/yubikey-comes-to-iphone-with-mobile-sdk-for-ios-and-lastpass-support/ https://www.yubico.com/2018/05/yubikey-comes-to-iphone-with-.... The link I cited is for lightning-connected Yubikey hardware, which is supposed to come out this year.
