This bug affects Bluetooth pairing only, so non-Bluetooth security keys are not affected. and are providing users with the immediate steps they need to take to protect themselves and to receive a free replacement key. We’ve become aware of an issue that affects the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) version of the Titan Security Key available in the U.S. “Since we recommend two security keys in case one is lost, users can now purchase one individual key and use Android’s built-in security key as the second key,” a Google spokesperson told VentureBeat.Posted by Christiaan Brand, Product Manager, Google Cloud Titan Security Keys work with any site where FIDO security keys are supported for 2FA, including 1Password, Coinbase, Dropbox, Facebook, GitHub, Salesforce, Stripe, Twitter, and more. In April, Google built this capability into Android phones, but only when logging into Google accounts. 2FA is a method of confirming a user’s identity by using a combination of two different factors: something they know (password), something they have (security key), or something they are (fingerprint). Security keys play an important role in two-factor authentication (2FA) when securing online accounts against phishing - one of the most common causes of data breaches. Google is now splitting the bundle and making the keys available individually: The $50 bundle comes with a USB-A/NFC key, a Bluetooth/NFC/USB key, and an adapter for devices with USB Type-C ports. Google introduced the Titan Security Key at Cloud Next in August 2018. Google’s latest take on a Fast Identity Online ( FIDO) key will hit the Google Store in the U.S.
The USB-C Titan Security Key, manufactured by Yubico, is compatible with Android, Chrome OS, macOS, and Windows devices.
If you have a new phone or laptop with a USB-C port, Google now has a security key to match. Connect with top gaming leaders in Los Angeles at GamesBeat Summit 2023 this May 22-23.
