What they should be doing, is to subsidise YubiKeys to their high-value customers.
Not just to lock down the logins to Coinbase, but to also secure their customers' email, Twitter accounts, and as many other online systems as would support hardware backed WebAuthn. Hell, PokerStars did this with RSA tokens back in 2008 so it's not like it's a new idea.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoI love my YubiKey but it doesn't work with my phone. Have newer models solved this problem?
- twostorytower 5y agoMy iPhone supports my Google Titankey through NFC, and I think newer Yubikeys also have NFC.
- SpelingBeeChamp 5y agoHOLD ON. You can get your iPhone to actually recognize your Titan key via NFC? Please tell me how to do that? Two iPhones and every type of Titan key that is currently sold, still haven't been able to make NFC work, nor authentication over Bluetooth.
- twostorytower 5y agoYou just tap your key to the back of your iPhone whenever prompted (such as Coinbase app login).
- SpelingBeeChamp 5y agoHave you actually done that with a Titan key and had it work?
- bostik 5y agoYes. You need NFC chipped phone and and NFC model YubiKey. That also solves a major usability issue: instead of trying to juggle between a mobile application and a TOTP authenticator (on the same device!), or plugging in a USB adapter for authentication needs, you just quickly tap/wave your keyring next to the phone. Or take your phone quickly by your pocket when you need the second factor.
