Can’t use cuz it just crashes in seconds
I just bought two nanos and I absolutely cannot use this app. It crashes in seconds of opening it and trying to add account. Terrible. I hope something will change in the next day or two or I’ll just have to return both keys.
United StatesExcellent
It took me a minute to figure it out, but once I did it became my preferred Authenticator app and my preferred backup method for my yk5c. I also appreciate the developer reaching out to assist, though I had figured it out beforehand.
United StatesPull down to activate NFC doesn’t work
Can’t get my codes on iPhone 15 running iOS 17.3.1. This is happening for app version 1.7.9 (build 128). Really annoying.
United StatesApp doesn’t work
I have two yubikey’s that work great with the desktop companion app “Yubico Authenticator”. When I plug in to phone and/or use NFC on both my Yubikeys, the iOS app shows my keys and numeric code to input for login but when I input for login I get “keys don’t match” or something like that from the website. I plug back in to computer and works. Not sure what is going on. I just got these for the Authy EOS on desktop. Oh well. Guess more hardware for the drawer.
United StatesHaven't been able to tap NFC since updating to iOS17
Worked great when i bought the yubikeys but since updating my phone (13mini) when I swipe down to tap to get rolling codes off the yubikey nothing happens, no feedback. hopefully a bugfix will save the day.
United StatesCan’t use icons
Everything works as far as credentials go but this app is missing a feature you have in other OS (MacOS, Android) versions, the ability to load an icon pack.
United StatesNo keyboard using iPhone 15 Pro
I have an iPhone 15 Pro. When using smart card emulation the iPhone treats the YubiKey as an external Keyboard, preventing me from entering my PIN. I have to unplug the YubiKey, enter my Pin then plug it back in. Additionally the iPhone 15 doesn’t always recognize that my YubiKey 5Ci is plugged in, preventing it from accessing my derived credentials. Please add the option to use a soft keyboard with the YubiKey attached via USB C.

This version solves a bug that caused a "Credential not found" error to be displayed instead of a list of accounts. Improved handling on iPhone 15 with YubiKeys that have Yubico OTP enabled when using the SmartCard extension.
