These two products deliver on our mission to enable a passwordless future for all.” Security Key NFC and YubiKey for Lightning “Today at CES, we are excited to introduce the addition of NFC to our Security Key Series, and reveal our YubiKey for Lightning. “Yubico’s goal is to make strong, simple authentication truly ubiquitous, across all services, devices, and operating systems,” said Stina Ehrensvard, CEO and Founder, Yubico.

Yubico will demonstrate both of these devices and iOS functionality at CES 2019, booth #312. The company has announced the availability of the Security Key NFC by Yubico and delivered an early look at the YubiKey designed with a Lightning connector for use with iPhones and iPads. The new key works with a range of apps, including password managers like 1Password and LastPass, and web browsers like Brave, which support security key authentication.PALO ALTO, CA and STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Janu– Yubico, the leading provider of hardware authentication security keys, today has introduced two new device form factors at CES 2019. Jerrod Chong, Yubico’s chief solutions officer, said the new key would fill a “critical gap in the mobile authentication ecosystem,” particularly given how users are increasingly spending their time across a multitude of mobile devices. Security keys offer almost unbeatable security and can protect against a variety of threats, including nation-state attackers. Your Gmail, Twitter and Facebook account all support these plug-in devices as a second-factor of authentication after your username and password - a far stronger mechanism than the simple code sent to your phone. When you want to log in to an online account, you plug in the key to your device and it authenticates you. These security keys are small enough to sit on a keyring. Announced in June, the company said the security keys would cater to cross-platform users - particularly Apple device owners.

Yubico’s newest YubiKey is the latest iteration of its security key built to support a newer range of devices, including Apple’s iPhone, iPad and MacBooks, in a single device. Almost two months after it was first announced, Yubico has launched the YubiKey 5Ci, a security key with dual support for iPhones, Macs and other USB-C compatible devices.
