RELATED: How to Set Up Google’s New Code-Less Two-Factor Authentication If you have a YubiKey NEO, you can also set this up with NFC for your Android phone if you wish. Just insert the key and press the button on it when you’re asked to do so. When you log in from a new PC, you’ll be prompted to authenticate with the USB security key. This doesn’t work on an iPhone, as only Android provides apps with access to the NFC hardware. If you have a key that supports NFC, you can tap it on the back of your Android device when signing in to authenticate, when prompted.

When signing in from a platform that doesn’t support security keys-for example, any browser on an iPhone, Microsoft Edge on a Windows PC, or Safari on a Mac-you’ll still be able to authenticate the old fashioned way, with a code sent to your phone. (Opera also supports U2F security keys, since it’s based on Google Chrome.) Mozilla Firefox now includes U2F support, but it’s disable by default and must be enabled with a hidden option at the moment.

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera: Chrome works for this on on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, and even Android if you have a U2F key that can authenticate wirelessly via NFC.

The more expensive YubiKey NEO is required if you want to use it with an Android device via NFC, though from what we can tell, this feature is limited to even fewer services, so it probably isn’t worth the extra cost at this point in time. The Yubico U2F key is a good bet for $18. The top result is from Yubico, who worked with Google to develop U2F before other companies signed on, and has a history of making USB security keys. Google’s official documentation tells users to search for FIDO U2F Security Key on Amazon and buy one.
