Are there Yubikeys or similar hardware tokens that work on mobile devices that don't involve dongles? My NFC-enabled one is pretty much useless on iOS sadly.

- sebazzz 5y agoNFC enabled Yubikeys work fine on iOS, but not if you protect them with a PIN code.
- tialaramex 5y agoIf your phone has a fingerprint reader (or maybe Apple's facial recognition?) it can do the exact same thing as Yubikeys are doing to, for example, sign into GitHub - WebAuthn. The phone says, well, I am me, and this user is my owner because their fingerprint matches, so here you go, here is my signed message saying I promise I'm still me and my user is still whoever they are, let us is. The technology to make that work is a bit easier for Apple because they own the entire ecosystem, on Android there's some shenanigans because you can install a different Web Browser (e.g. Firefox) and this still needs to work, yet it mustn't work if that free-to-play match four puzzle you installed claims to be a web browser that needs to log into your bank... so Google actually gives out "This is really a web browser" Android stickers for release builds of e.g. Firefox that let WebAuthn work.
