This means that LastPass users with iPhone 7 or above, running iOS 11 and above, can now authenticate to their LastPass Premium, Families, Teams, or Enterprise accounts on their mobile device with the same YubiKey NEO that they use for their desktop or laptop. Today, LastPass is the very first password manager application on iOS to enhance its security with Yubico OTP authentication through NFC.
The LastPass password manager remains one of the most popular YubiKey integrations for Yubico OTP, and the application has supported NFC on Android devices for many years. LastPass iOS App Supports Yubico OTP via NFC
Now users can just tap the YubiKey to authenticate, which is four times faster than typing in an OTP! Not to mention, users and app developers no longer have to run the risk of potential security and reliability issues by relying on SMS or mobile authentication. It’s available now for download and is also part of the Yubico Developer Program mobile track, and provides developers all the necessary tools to rapidly up-level their iOS mobile app security with Yubico OTP.īy introducing YubiKey hardware-based authentication via NFC to iPhone applications, users no longer need to toggle between apps and temporarily memorize a throw away code before it expires. To help mobile application developers simplify rollouts and deliver on this functionality, Yubico created the Mobile SDK for iOS. However, documentation and reference code for developers to add this support to applications was lacking and unnecessarily complicated. Given that the YubiKey NEO can generate an OTP and send it to the requesting app via NFC, it became possible to authenticate with Yubico one-time password (Yubico OTP) with a YubiKey NEO - a feature requested by many YubiKey users. The launch of iOS 11 last year saw Apple provide support for NFC tag reading, which allowed developers to build apps with one-time passcode (OTP) support. A user authenticates to their LastPass app on iPhone using a YubiKey NEO over near field communication (NFC).
