Overview

The Identiv uTrust FIDO2 NFC distinguishes itself from the group with a glossy-white injection molded key design. The USB-A model has the standard exposed blade, and the capacitive touch sensor has a multi-color LED integrated within. The key is just slightly larger than the rest of the competition but offers a generous keyring opening on the end. It is the only key that, with a little effort, can fit onto the loop of your standard badge lanyard. The key feels of high-quality and has a nice weight to it in hand.

Available Features And Management

The NFC+ supports FIDO2 as well as FIDO U2F, HOTP, TOTP, and PIV. Unfortunately, despite searching their site, I was not able to find a download link to their uTrust Key Manager software, which is needed to use/manage some of the features. Focusing just on FIDO2, that does not matter as I was able to manage the key with Windows native tools.

Where things go downhill as far as features – when you dig into their documentation, you find out that NFC is only for PIV. This answers why, when trying to enroll the key through NFC, it would continually fail. However, being someone who just rips the package open and gives the key a whirl, I was confused at first; the name is misleading considering the limitations.

FIPS 140 Availability
