Description

Store your unique credentials on a hardware-backed security key and take it wherever you go from mobile to desktop. No more storing sensitive secrets on your mobile phone, leaving your account vulnerable to takeovers. With the Yubico Authenticator you can raise the bar for security.

* The Yubico Authenticator will work with any USB, Lightning, or NFC-enabled YubiKeys.
* As iPads do not have NFC, they will only work through a Lightning or USB connection.

The Yubico Authenticator generates a code used to verify your identity as you are logging into various services. No connectivity needed!

Features include:
Touch or NFC Authentication - Touch the YubiKey sensor or simply tap a YubiKey with NFC to a mobile phone that is NFC-enabled to store your credential on the YubiKey
USB-C support - Connect the YubiKey 5Ci or any USB-C type YubiKey. When prompted, depending on the key, touch the contacts on the sides of the key or the golden ring on the top
Biometric support - Experience greater convenience by unlocking your YubiKey with FaceID or TouchID
Easy Setup - QR codes available from the services you wish to protect with strong authentication
User Presence - New codes generated with just a touch or NFC tap of the YubiKey
Compatible - Secure all the services currently compatible with other Authenticator apps
Secure - Hardware-backed strong two-factor authentication with secret stored on the YubiKey, not on the mobile device
Versatile - Support for multiple work and personal accounts
Portable - Get the same set of codes across our other Yubico Authenticator apps for desktops as well as for all leading mobile platforms
Flexible - Support for time-based and counter-based code generation
Smart Card - Support for Apple's CryptoTokenKit Extension making it possible to use certificates stored on your YubiKey to authenticate with other apps and sites

Works well

Any way to shorten (or suppress) “Credentials Successfuly Read” notification?
We already get the haptics feedback that the key is read, the notification just lingers for a bit too long.

Developer Response ,

Hello! The NFC pop-up lingering is due to Apple UI, but we do have an option that can help. To dismiss the notification, you can swipe down and it will disappear. Hope that is helpful!

App Crashes when using physical USB on IPadOS

Okay so this may be confusing to explain via text; When plugging in my Yubikey 5 NFC (Firmware version: 5.2.4) into my iPad Pro (12.9-inch - 6th generation) using a USB-Dock/Hub the app will repeatedly crash until the Yubikey is removed.

Otherwise the app works perfectly fine on my iPhone via NFC, only issue is with my iPad.

Developer Response ,

Hi there! We're glad to hear that the app is working well on your iPhone! Could you please try using the key without the USB hub with your iPad and let us know if that fixes the issue?

Almost Perfect

Please get rid of the “Credentials Successfully Read” pop up. It stays on the screen too long and it blocks the entries behind it. It’s a real nuisance to wait for it to disappear! It is extremely annoying! Nobody needs to know that it has been successful read anyways. The fact that you can see your codes already indicates this.
