With the YubiKey 5Ci, this next-generation safe login is now available on every popular platform - iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, & Linux. Brave is the first web browser to support secure phishing-resistant authentication via robust security keys on iPhones & iPads. Until now, access to security keys had been limited on iOS devices. Security keys like Yubico’s thwart this entire class of popular and effective attack, substantially bolstering account security. Attacks based on lookalikes and deception are incredibly common and popular among all kinds of online adversaries, from everyday criminals to state actors. A phishing or spoof website with a misleading domain name might fool you at first glance if the name is close enough, but it won’t be able to fool your browser or your security key. Unlike passwords and other multi-factor authentication approaches, security keys simultaneously authenticate the website and the person logging in.
The new YubiKey 5Ci incorporates both Lightning and USB-C connectors, making it compatible with iOS and Android mobile devices as well as laptop & desktop hardware. Yubico is the leading provider of hardware security keys which use the U2F and WebAuthn protocols to provide secure phishing-resistant authentication for online logins. Earlier this summer, Brave and Yubico announced a partnership to bring YubiKey support to Brave for iOS.
