Titan Security Keys are available on the Google Store (Canada, France, Japan, UK, and the US) and through Google Cloud partners. They are built with a specific hardware chip that includes the firmware which is engineered by Google to verify the integrity of the key. The Titan Security Keys work with popular browsers like Google Chrome, internet explorer and a growing ecosystem of services that support FIDO (first ID online) standards. Google Titan Security Keys are basically phishing-resistant two-factor authentication (2FA) devices which will help to protect high-value users such as IT admins.

The security keys are available for all users for stronger protection. G Suite (Corporate mailing solution), Google Cloud Platform ( GCP ) and Cloud Identity admins as well as users enrolled in the Advanced Protection Program(APP), basically have access to sensitive data and systems.

Unlike other 2FA methods, also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA), that use one-time codes via text message, security keys don’t require a phone number on users’ accounts. Users simply tap the button on their key instead of retyping long lines of codes. Security keys help defend against the consequences of phishing attacks and make Two-factor authentication (2FA) easier. This process provides superior protection to code-based verification, like SMS and a one-time password (OTP). The key makes sure that your users are logging into the service they have originally registered the End to end security key with, and the service verifies that it’s the correct security key as well. For security, Google has launched Two-factor authentication (2FA) with a FIDO (first ID online) security key that uses cryptography to provide a two-way verification process.
