Yubico's Yubikey 4 series includes USB-C models, but they don't support FIDO2. The USB-C Solo key sells for $25, and there's no direct competitor to it yet. The USB-A version of the Solo key costs $20, and at the moment it has pretty much the same capabilities as Yubico's identically priced, basic blue Security Key (which not a Yubikey, as it uses only open standards).īut Patrick said the Solo key will get firmware updates to extend its capabilities into other authentication formats such as one-time passwords, static passwords and smart cards, which most Yubikeys already support. (iOS devices already work with the Bluetooth-based Titan security keyfobs sold by Feitian and Google, and a Yubikey out later this year will have a Lightning plug to work with iPhones and iPads.) Nor is it likely that the upcoming Solo Tap will work with iOS, which does not support NFC to the same degree as Android. However, the Solo key won't work with LastPass, as that password manager supports only Yubico's proprietary Yubikey security keys. Either USB-A or the USB-C versions of the Solo Key should work with any online service that supports U2F or FIDO2, including Google, Facebook, Dropbox and the Dashlane and Keeper password managers.
