Anyone here also use a YubiKey for work?
I set it up easily on my work computer. It seemed to work on my iPhone as well using NFC. However, when I get to the screen that I expect to prompt me to tap my key to the back of my iPhone it does nothing. I’ve tried restarting my phone, clearing Safari’s history, etc.
I also ran into the same issue on my Mac and could not get it to work on Safari or Firefox, but it did work on Chrome.
I am at a loss… any ideas?

I think it only works with Chrome browser.
Hopefully Apple adds the function in in a future update. A lot of people rely on iPhones for work, but my organization has now disabled MFA using text messages stating it’s not secure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Safari does support YubiKeys. Do you know which YubiKey you have?

You are correct. My mistake.

It is blue… I think a 4 with NFC? Model is Y-256

I don’t think it’s the key though… the web browser never prompts me to tap my key on the back of my phone for this particular account. I’ve tried other browsers and it’s the same thing.
