There's a range of YubiKeys with different connectors, but the $75 YubiKey 5C NFC is the first to support both USB-C and tap-and-go style NFC connections. When you're asked for a 2FA code, either plug in the key or tap it on your device to use NFC. If your computer lacks new USB-C ports, pick up a cheap USB-C adaptor or opt for a YubiKey with the old USB-A connector.

To make life easier, you can "trust" your own devices so you only need to use 2FA when logging into an account from a new device for the first time. The YubiKey also works with services like 1Password and LastPass, making it easier to keep track of all your passwords.

In theory, the YubiKey 5C NFC is the one security key to rule them all – working with iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. It's compatible with more than 200 services, including business tools, social media accounts and gaming accounts. You can even use the YubiKey to log into macOS or Windows.

NFC is great for Android, but unfortunately for iGadget owners it only works with a handful of iOS app, the most prominent of which are LastPass, 1Password, Google and Basecamp. Meanwhile, the USB-C connector doesn't work with the iPad Pro.

If you regularly need to log into a wider range of iOS apps, then consider the YubiKey 5Ci which has Apple Lightning and USB-C connectors, but lacks NFC. It's a frustrating compromise, so make sure you consider all your options when choosing the right YubiKey for the job.
