USB-C support - Connect the YubiKey 5Ci or any USB-C type YubiKey. Touch or NFC Authentication - Touch the YubiKey sensor or simply tap a YubiKey with NFC to a mobile phone that is NFC-enabled to store your credential on the YubiKey The Yubico Authenticator generates a code used to verify your identity as you are logging into various services. * As iPads do not have NFC, they will only work through a Lightning or USB connection. * The Yubico Authenticator will work with any USB, Lightning, or NFC-enabled YubiKeys. With the Yubico Authenticator you can raise the bar for security. No more storing sensitive secrets on your mobile phone, leaving your account vulnerable to takeovers. More downloads for their app I suppose.Store your unique credentials on a hardware-backed security key and take it wherever you go from mobile to desktop. Not even providing it as an alternative has to be done with intent. The FIDO U2F standard is freely available, open source, tested by millions, and takes 5 minutes to set up for your software. For example the Steam app has no way of auto-typing the one-time-code on my desktop from my phone. Why are they trying to bully me in to using their sub-par system instead of having all my keys in the same place? Even ignoring the advantages to having my keys all in the same place, their offering is just worse than what I'm using already. I have ~8 2FA account already and hope to add as many as at all possible - I would really rather have them all in one place and that is of course not going to be the Steam app. The fact that Steam has made their own proprietary 2FA and not allowed any standard system just shows that they are remarkably short-sighted. It's a shame you didn't have access to the Internet and therefore couldn't do a quick Google check instead of butting in with completely uninformed opinions for no reason. I have no idea what a Yubikey is, however people without phones have suggested a number of alternatives, and all of the suggestions which I have read have in some way involved using their PC for two-factor authorization.
