Titan Security Keys can be used anywhere security keys are supported as a second factor of authentication, including Google’s Advanced Protection Program that is designed for anyone at risk of targeted attacks – like journalists, activists, business leaders, and political campaign teams. Security keys are appropriate for any security-conscious user, and we recommend that all users, especially high value ones such as IT administrators, consider authenticating via security keys.

Security keys can help to secure your Google Account as well as other consumer and enterprise services by helping to defend against phishing and other social engineering attacks that attempt to steal user credentials. Starting today, Titan Security Keys are available for purchase on the Google Store.
