![]() ![]() One major let down for me personally is that the YubiKey authentication app does not work on macOS High Sierra (I will buy a new Mac soon with the latest OS, but I can't upgrade this one because I have critical apps on it that will stop working!). No need to dig out your phone and find the authentication code, or wait for several minutes for the text message to arrive. Not only is a physical key more secure, it is also faster (for websites that implement it correctly) - you just simply tap on it and you're done. As it's a more secure method than SMS or authenticator apps, it really should become the standard for all websites - most importantly, banks! So the lack of third party adoption really lets this product down, unfortunately. This is a great product that will keep your online accounts as secure as possible, but the big issue is that this method of 2FA is only supported by a handful of websites. Tap the phone- For NFC-enabled Android phones, simply tap a YubiKey 5 NFC against the phone to complete authentication Insert YubiKey and tap - plug the YubiKey into a USB port on a computer and touch the YubiKey to make sure you are human, not a remote hacker.
