- nimih 5y agoMy NFC Yubikey works fine with my iPhone 8.
- xoa 5y agoYour recollection was correct but is now a few years out of date. As is typical Apple they intro'd it (in 2017 IIRC) as a 1st party dogfood item, started read only. Then in 2019 with iOS 13 allowing far more power including full range of two way authentication capability. Yubico blogged about it [0] after the announcement, and Apple's HIG on use of NFC [1] is also available. Also, Safari itself needed to have support added, but that too is now available. So old workarounds like using the lightning port are no longer necessary, though AFAIK are still supported. It's nice to have it there as well since to really be most effective every platform a user has needs to support hardware 2FA. If something still needs SMS or OTP or whatever that becomes the weakest link. ---- 0: https://www.yubico.com/blog/yubico-ios-authentication-expands-to-include-nfc/ https://www.yubico.com/blog/yubico-ios-authentication-expand... 1: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/user-interaction/near-field-communication/ https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...
