“Yubico’s goal is to make strong, simple authentication truly ubiquitous, across all services, devices, and operating systems,” said the company’s CEO and founder Stina Ehrensvärd in today’s announcement.

With this, Yubico is also announcing that it is extending its developer program to iOS developers who want to use the company’s software tools for two-factor authentication. Thanks to that, you’ll be able to use it on both modern Macs and iPhones. One nifty feature of the new key is that it has both USB-C and Lightning connectors - one on each side. Once it is widely available, this will mark the first time the company offers a key that supports iPad and iPhone users. Yubico, the company behind the almost ubiquitous YubiKey two-factor authentication dongles, today announced that its YubiKey for Lightning is now in private preview.
