Yubico Adds NFC-Enabled and Lightning Security Keys

The people holding off on enabling strong two-factor authentication on their various accounts are quickly running out of reasonable excuses. This week, that list got even shorter when Yubico launched an NFC-enabled hardware security key that works wirelessly, as well as a separate key with a Lightning port connector for Apple hardware. The Security Key NFC is a modified version of the existing YubiKey, which has a single USB-A connector. The addition of the NFC (near field communication) capability allows people to use it with some Android mobile devices as well as some Windows laptops that have NFC readers attached.
