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

WARNING!! Do Not Use on Apple ID

Buyerbeware12 on

You will get locked out and the support at this Yubico is even worse than Apple support

App Crashes when using physical USB on IPadOS

GuardYaGrill on

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.

On the fence!

Fortune 8968 on

Not sure if I want to buy a 5 series Yubi keys, I already have 2 pieces of Yubi Security NFC keys but though not compatible with this Yubico Authenticator Apps. The Microsoft and Google Authenticator Apps just works as good and simpler to use for 2FA.

NFC still broken

Amarite1 on

Update: 4+ months later and this still isn’t fixed. I raised a support ticket which essentially boiled down to “we can’t reproduce it but other customers reported it too”. I offered to help by providing any additional info needed or trying things, since I obviously can reproduce the issue, but they weren’t interested. Can’t believe I still can’t use my Yubikeys with my phone months later, never buying from these guys again. The app no longer works with the 5C’s NFC and constantly claims “Credential Not Found” instead. Not a good look for a company trying to be at the forefront of 2FA since now I can’t easily access my accounts from my phone. Disappointing, this needs a fix ASAP.

UI

Crocodillette on

Can you hide the edit and red delete button behind a separate button? they are really distracting and I really want to touch that red button.

Good app, NFC issue

Scarycloud on

This app is good and I have used it for months without problems, but recently it will not find my Yubikey 5 NFC. I have confirmed the protocols are enabled, and it works with websites, but not the app. It may just be on my side, but I think I saw another post with a similar issue. I would like to see a fix soon. Thanks

Yubikey 5 NFC works great via IOS + NFC however..

GuardYaGrill on

When attempting to use the same yubikey I’ve been using for years on iPadOS (via external USB C hub) the app is constantly crashing. Hopefully someone escalates this an releases a patch.

Multilingual version?

Williie Lamothe on

Hi, Did you plan to prepare and provide a French-language tutorial to help you understand all the intricacies of setting up your Yubikey. I admit to getting lost at times. I am convinced that this would be useful for many users for whom English is not their native language. (Spanish, German, Arabic…) Planifiez vous préparer et fournir un tutoriel en langue française afin d’aider à comprendre toutes les subtilités des réglages de votre Yubikey. J’avoue m’y perdre par moment. Je suis convaincu que cela serait utile pour bien des utilisateurs pour qui la langue anglaise n’est pas leur langue natale. (espagnol, allemand, arabe…)

1 thing is costing you two stars..

Nxrcotic on

The app itself is very nice and functional however, the fact we can’t clone authentication keys is a huge red flag to me, if all my 2FA codes sit on one key then that’s the key I’m taking with me quite literally everywhere. Please, please, please add some way to transfer 2FA codes to other keys.

Works well

BlakCh3rry on

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.
