Good fit if

  • Regulated fleets on Lightning iPhones needing a physical connection and a FIPS 140-2 validated key.

Look elsewhere if

  • USB-C iPhones, and anyone whose obligation names 140-3.
  • It is the most expensive key in the range.

YubiKey 5Ci FIPS (140-2) connects over USB-C + Lightning. There is no NFC on this model, so it only authenticates when plugged in.

Regulated fleets on Lightning iPhones needing a physical connection and a FIPS 140-2 validated key.

Where it is the wrong choice: uSB-C iPhones, and anyone whose obligation names 140-3. It is the most expensive key in the range.

Every order ships from Sydney with a tax invoice, and we are happy to talk through a rollout before you commit to a quantity.
