WebAuthn now a standard

My advice on WebAuthn is: wait until the next version of the standard when they iron out all the things they could have avoided had they done an RFC rather than just announcing it like a bunch of jackasses.
Pun indended: FIDO(2) is dog shit
What don't you like about FIDO(2)?

It extends from the lack of an RFC, because they require implementation of already broken/obsolete RSA models. Of course their answer to this issue is "don't use them", which is utterly retarded.
At the end of the day, the simplest is this: they're pushing it for mobile, if you lose your device or somehow don't have access to your private keys, you can't login, pure and simple.

but how do you use a YubiKey on your phone?
That's exactly how I do it. You can also use the Yubiauth app on both the phone and Windows to hold OTP codes for stuff that doesn't support u2f.

I finally watched the video - and while they didn't explain it, they did show it.

So there's a way to export the private key out of the YubiKey? or the sites allows for multiple public keys?

Huh? You scan the QR code like you normally would but it stores it on the Yubikey instead. Then when you need the code you either tap it to your phone and it shows you all of the one time codes or you do it on your computer. Just like how Google authenticator works. For the u2f stuff, it works the same on Android as on your pc. The browser needs to support u2f and it does the challenge response.

I've never used a YubiKey - I assumed the private code inside the YubiKey was there and no where else.

But you can use the Yubikeys for a ton of auth types. You can do static passwords, TOTP, HOTP, GPG, u2f, local challenge reponse (like with PAM), and still more I believe.

It depends on the type of authentication.
