This allows for the removal of less safe login methods and greatly reduces the risk of phishing on protected accounts, no matter what device you’re logging in from. With Brave’s support for Yubico’s upcoming YubiKey 5Ci devices, with both a USB-C and Lightning connector on a single device, you will soon be able to use the same robust security key across multiple devices, including iPhones and iPads. A spoof site with a misleading domain name might be enough to occasionally trip up a person, but can’t fake the cryptographic handshake used in the U2F and WebAuthn protocols supported by the YubiKey. Unlike a code entered from a text message or an app, security keys such as the YubiKey not only authenticate you with a single touch, but also verify the identity of the site you’re logging into. Yubico is the leading provider of hardware authentication security keys - devices which protect logins to online accounts from phishing, man-in-the-middle, and other threats of account takeover. We’re excited to partner with Yubico to bring YubiKey support to Brave for iOS.
