Yubico debuts iOS SDK with LastPass as first YubiKey Neo NFC app

Hardware authentication keymaker Yubico announced an iOS software development kit today, enabling iOS developers to add YubiKey Neo NFC authentication to their apps. Yubico also announced that LogMeIn’s LastPass is the first third-party iOS app to support YubiKey through NFC. YubiKey Neo is a portable, physical key-sized USB device with a USB plug on one end and a wireless NFC chip inside, enabling users to unlock computers with the USB plug and certain mobile devices with NFC. The concept is to provide secure two-factor authentication, combining a typed password with a required piece of identity-confirming hardware before unlocking a device.
