In summary: You should be able to use your key with any services that use Yubico OTP on an iPad over USB-C.

This is due to Apple's restrictions on what is able to communicate with iPadOS over USB-C, combined with the fact that Apple's MFi program (which we were able to use to enable this kind of communication over the lightning connector) does not apply to the USB-C connector. If you have an iPad Pro, please note that our YubiKeys are not compatible with the Yubico Authenticator app (OATH security protocol) because the iPad Pro does not have lightning or NFC capabilities. *Please note that in version 1.7.0 of the Yubico Authenticator USB-C support was added to iPads running iPadOS 16.1 When connecting a YubiKey to your iPad Pro over USB-C, the functions that will work are button-press functions like Yubico OTP and WebAuthn (which generally encompasses FIDO U2F and FIDO2). Adapters should work with OTP and FIDO U2F security protocols, however we don’t recommend it.ĭo YubiKeys work with iPad Pros (with USB-C)?
