During today’s Aspen Cyber Summit in New York City, we rolled out the latest version of our Titan Security Key — now available on the Google Store. Throughout 2024, we’ll also begin distributing 100,000 of these new security keys at no cost to global high risk users alongside our industry partners.Why we started with security keysStolen passwords are one of the biggest threats to online security, and we first introduced the Titan Security Key in 2018 to defend against phishing attacks, stopping bad actors from accessing your Google Account. However, we think the best way to eliminate the risks of passwords is to get rid of them altogether. That’s why we helped develop passkeys and announced support for passkeys across all Google Accounts earlier this year. Passkeys are a simpler, safer way to sign into your accounts — without the need for a password. They use FIDO2 credentials and cryptography, so you can use your existing devices to securely confirm who you are.The passkey friendly Titan Security KeyWe’re excited about the potential of passkeys, but know there’s no security silver bullet for everyone. Some people require a solution not dependent on smartphones or use devices that don’t support passkeys — everyone has different approaches to security, but we all share one goal: stop attacks. That’s why we intentionally designed the latest Titan Security Keys to encompass the secure cryptography of passkeys on a portable piece of hardware.The two newly introduced models will replace our current USB-A and USB-C devices — and both will provide NFC capabilities for easy and fast connections with mobile devices. The new keys are also able to store more than 250 unique passkeys — enough storage for users to register them with all their favorite services supporting passkeys — which makes them best-in-class among FIDO2 security keys.
