These traditional methods are being targeted by attackers in increasing numbers and are becoming more vulnerable to data breaches. This is in contrast to the traditional methods of multi-factor authentication such as SMS-based authentication and one-time passcodes, which have proven to be insufficient in protecting users from phishing attacks. Physical security keys like the YubiKey are considered the most secure form of multi-factor authentication.
With over 95% of active iCloud accounts already using two-factor authentication, the introduction of physical security keys such as the YubiKey is expected to make a significant impact on modernizing the approach to cybersecurity. The move is part of Apple’s iOS 16.3 update, which now offers security key support for Apple ID accounts.
Apple has taken a major step in the world of cybersecurity by incorporating Yubico’s YubiKey to provide stronger protection against phishing for iCloud accounts.
