See the following from About Security Keys for Apple ID - Apple Support


Security Keys for Apple ID works with any FIDO® Certified security key. Some good examples include:

  • YubiKey 5C NFC (works with most Mac and iPhone models)
  • YubiKey 5Ci (works with most Mac and iPhone models)
  • FEITIAN ePass K9 NFC USB-A (works with older Mac models and most iPhone models)

If you choose a different security key, you should choose security keys that are FIDO® Certified, and have a connector that works with the Apple devices that you use on a regular basis.

For a complete list of certified keys from the FIDO Alliance, visit the FIDO® Certified Showcase.


Also see the "Choose the right connectors for your device" section of the support article. Your MacBook Air will have either USB or USB-C connectors depending on its age.
