Universal 2nd factor
FIDO2 U2F is an emerging open authentication standard, with built-in support in platforms and browsers. U2F breaks the matrix for public authentication with high security, removing the complexity of drivers, specialized client software, and the traditional expensive CA model. With FIDO2 U2F, a single YubiKey 5 NFC supports an unlimited number of online services, without user information or encryption keys shared by the service providers. The U2F protocol reached a major milestone in June 2015 with new transport protocols that provide support for mobile devices. U2F works on mobile devices with NFC – Google Authenticator v4.44 and GitHub have both implemented the new transport protocol in December 2015.
