I haven't researched their claim, but my guess is that with something like yubikey you wouldn't know an authentication has happened. with Krypton, there would be a notification pending on your phone. Possibly you would only be able to authenticate if your phone is unlocked as well.

My phone locks after a while of inactivity. if I have to unlock the phone, then it wouldn't be zero touch, right?
When Krypton asks you to authorize an access, you can tell it to authorize that single access, authorize the host for three hours, or authorize everything for three hours.

I typically authorize the host for three hours, meaning for the next three hours I don't have to Touch ID in again.
