Apple iOS 13.3 is finally here with a bunch of new features, including 1 very cool security capability. Here’s what you need to know:

As iOS 13.3 hits today , it’s now been confirmed that your iPhone will support NFC, USB, and Lightning FIDO2-compliant security keys in Safari.

Previously, the ability to use security keys wasn’t available to users of Apple’s Safari browser, although they could be used with some apps such as 1Password. Security keys represent a general move away from passwords to authenticate you in a more robust way. They are easy to use and protect you from phishing attacks, where hackers try to tempt you to into entering your details on a fake log-in page.If you want to try out this iOS 13.3 option on your iPhone, you will of course need to buy yourself a security key. The iPhone compatible YubiKey 5Ci is the on a single key so it’s probably your best option at the moment.

Once you have also installed iOS 13.3, there are a few things you need to consider when using security keys. Firstly, support for YubiKey is limited. But this is likely to change as time goes on and isn’t a reason to stop you from trying it out. Ethical hacker John Opdenakker says it’s “good to see that iOS 13.3 will make it possible to use security keys, like YubiKey, with Safari.
