Unlock iPhone with a YubiKey


My iPhone 11 is protected with a 6 digit number & Face ID. The weak link is the 6 digit number, in a public place anyone can look over and see the 6 digit number code if I have to type this in to enable Face ID.


If my iPhone were stolen by a thief who knows my 6 digit number then they have access to tons of things, including Apple Pay. Of course I can use Find My to block the iPhone but it may take a few hours before I can get home and do this, in the meantime the thief is using my iPhone as if I were using it, including using Apple Pay.


I know that a YubiKey 5 NFC will work with my iPhone.


The question is: Can I use a YubiKey 5 NFC to unlock my iPhone? I'm not asking about individual applications on the iPhone but the actual physical iPhone itself.


Thank you.



iPhone 11 Pro
