That can improve security across the board, because people no longer need to use weak substitutes for the strong protection a hardware key can provide. “This key has USB-C on one side and Lightning on the other so a user can authenticate to all the devices that they have,” he told TechNewsWorld. “Before this key, it was really hard for a user to try and authenticate with a security key across multiple devices,” said Yubico Chief Solutions Officer Jerrod Chong. The dual connectors can give security-conscious consumers and enterprise users strong hardware-backed authentication across iOS, Android, macOS and Windows devices. Its new YubiKey 5Ci, which retails for US$70, supports both USB-C and Apple’s Lightning connectors on a single device. Owners of iPhones looking for an extra measure of protection when using applications and logging into websites can get it with a new dongle from Yubico, a maker of hardware authentication security keys based in Palo Alto, California. ![]()
