About AuthLite NFC


What is AuthLite NFC?

This app is designed to work with YubiKey NFC and NEO to copy One-time-passcodes (OTPs) or static passwords from a YubiKey into the iOS clipboard. It is a simple app that allows users to switch to another app and paste the value into a text box. The app requires an iPhone that supports NFC technology, iOS version 11 or later, and a YubiKey NFC or NEO token. The YubiKey must be programmed with a "Yubico OTP", "OATH-HOTP", or "Static password" in Configuration Slot 1.



 

Features


- Copies One-time-passcodes (OTPs) or static passwords from a YubiKey into the iOS clipboard.

- Simple and easy to use.

- Requires an iPhone that supports NFC technology, iOS version 11 or later, and a YubiKey NFC or NEO token.

- The YubiKey must be programmed with a "Yubico OTP", "OATH-HOTP", or "Static password" in Configuration Slot 1.

- Displays a dialog that says "Ready to Scan. Hold YubiKey near the top edge of iPhone".

Functional App, no more usb-to-lighting cables

AuthLite is a highly useful little app, for anyone who is security conscious and uses multi-factor authentication (MFA, also called 2FA). With your NFC enabled security token, such as the Yubikey Neo or Yubikey 5 from Yubico, and a compatible iPhone (7, onwards) you can FINALLY authenticate with your security token without carrying around a stupid USB-to-lightning/8-pin connector cable on iPhone. Honestly, I’m surprised that Yubico has not produced an iOS app like AuthLite.

AuthLiteNFC is simple to use, simple to setup, and functions as expected—it does what it says on the tin. The auto-clipboard copy is great. It would be nice if there was a way that iOS would let it run in the background and copy auth codes to the clipboard when you tap your NFC enabled token to your phone, or if iPhones simply had better native support for NFC MFA like FIDO/U2F.

AuthLiteNFC fills an important niche, does it well, and appears to (currently—2018-12-02) be the only offering to let you actually use a NFC enabled security token on iPhone. Well done!

(I am a genuine user of AuthLiteNFC and have not been paid or otherwise compensated for this review. I have no professional or personal connection to AuthLite, Yubico or any other products or companies mentioned in this review. I’m just an enthusiastic user who wants to turn on MFA for ALL THE THINGS!!!!)

Great But Needs clear clipboard

Very nice work around but don’t clear clipboard so if using for password it stays in there

Would be nice with all the hype like yubikey there was more support and ease of use

Doesn’t work with Yubikey 5

AuthAnvil is what my employer uses and it’s horrible. Was hoping this would work but no go.

PREDATORY APP

Yubico releases official Yubico Authenticator app, only 3mB (not 60+mB like this nonsense, holy chit!). Accept no imitations!
