During today\u2019s Aspen Cyber Summit in New York City, we rolled out the latest version of our Titan Security Key \u2014 now available on the Google Store. Throughout 2024, we\u2019ll also begin distributing 100,000 of these new security keys at no cost to global high risk users alongside our industry partners.<\/p>\n
Stolen 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\u2019s 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re excited about the potential of passkeys, but know there\u2019s no security silver bullet for everyone. Some people require a solution not dependent on smartphones or use devices that don\u2019t support passkeys \u2014 everyone has different approaches to security, but we all share one goal: stop attacks. That\u2019s why we intentionally designed the latest Titan Security Keys to encompass the secure cryptography of passkeys on a portable piece of hardware.<\/p>\n
The two newly introduced models will replace our current USB-A and USB-C devices \u2014 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 \u2014 enough storage for users to register them with all their favorite services supporting passkeys \u2014 which makes them best-in-class among FIDO2 security keys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
