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

Ratings and Reviews
App not working on when freshly installed on iPadOS 15.1
App not working on brand new iPad (9th gen) running iPadOS 15.1. After entering the Yubikey password, the app disappears into the background. If the app is brought to the foreground via App Switcher, the password is requested again, etc. (thus entering a loop). The app that works on iPadOS 14.x continues to work after upgrading my old iPad (6th gen) to iPad 15.1. However, after "Erase All Content and Settings" from iPad (6th gen) and installing the app on a fresh iPadOS 15.1, the app shows the same behavior as on the above mentioned iPad (9th gen). So it seems that the problem only occurs when the app is installed for the first time on iPadOS 15.1. Yubico, please solve this problem.

Hi there! A new version of the app that includes a fix for this was just released :) Would you mind trying the new version and let us know if it solves the problem? You can share your feedback with our team here: https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Thank you!
Flow more complicated, why?
Since the last release the app requires an extra tap before showing the code. Doesn't make any sense, it was way quicker and easier to use before. Why why why?
Developer Response ,
Hello! In our latest update (1.6.3), we've added a setting to bypass the extra NFC tap required for accounts that has requires touch set. There's also a NFC setting that will start NFC automatically when the app starts.
App does not read QR code
On my iphone 14 pro max the app does not read the QR code on the back of the key when i try to make an account
Looks like the code is too far away for reading although the camera does have a macro function which works great
An alternative like reading a photo of the QR code does not work either
