Honestly, I’m surprised that Yubico has not produced an iOS app like AuthLite. With your NFC enabled security token, such as the Yubikey Neo or Yubikey 5 from Yubico, and a compatible iPhone (7, onwards) you can FINALLY authenticate with your security token without carrying around a stupid USB-to-lightning/8-pin connector cable on iPhone. If you tap the home button or swipe down on the dialog, it should be dismissed right away.įunctional App, no more usb-to-lighting cablesĪuthLite is a highly useful little app, for anyone who is security conscious and uses multi-factor authentication (MFA, also called 2FA). * After reading the YubiKey, the "Scan success" checkmark dialog is shown for about 2 seconds. But the way the app works now is the best way that is allowed by the API. It would be really useful if you could tap the key when you were in Safari etc. * The iOS API does not allow any way to "trigger" the NFC scanning when the app is closed or in the background. * You can click "Copy OTP to Clipboard", or if you have set the "Auto Copy" slider then the value will automatically be saved to the Clipboard each time one is read. * If the option is selected, the OTP or static password will be displayed on the screen. * Hold your YubiKey flat against the top edge of your phone for a moment, until the phone beeps. Hold YubiKey near the top edge of iPhone" * Right away, your iPhone should display a dialog that says "Ready to Scan. * Your YubiKey must be programmed with a "Yubico OTP", "OATH-HOTP", or "Static password" in Configuration Slot 1 * A YubiKey NFC or NEO token (not v4, nano-size token, U2F key, or any other type) that also supports Apple Pay's "tap to pay") * An iPhone that supports NFC technology (i.e. It is designed to be as simple as possible. Once the OTP/password is in the clipboard, you can switch to another app and Paste the value into a text box for example. This app is created for use with the YubiKey NFC and NEO to copy One-time-passcodes (OTPs) or static passwords from a YubiKey into the iOS clipboard.
