The newest update to the Google Authenticator app has the following line in their 'What's New' listing on the Play Store:
"Developer preview: support for NFC Security Key (FIDO Universal 2nd Factor protocol)"
I'm somewhat tech-savvy (to people that don't get computers I'm a wizard, but I really don't know much about coding/hardware/etc, I mostly just figure stuff out as I go), but haven't yet found a clear answer as to whether I can use the 2015 NFC Ring as a U2F device as in https://fidoalliance.org/specifications/overview/
If so, my understanding is that I could use the new ring in order to help secure my Google account (under certain circumstances), without running into the additional inconvenience I've had with the Authenticator app caused by periodically wiping my phone while flashing new ROMS, etc.
Any info you folks can offer would be much appreciated.
