The USB-A key will work for most laptops, and a USB-A-to-USB-C dongle is included in the box - handy if you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro. The Titan doesn't work with iOS devices, but with Apple opening up the iPhone's NFC capabilities in recent updates, that may change at some point. Hopefully it will come when Google unveils its new Pixel devices.
That's not a bad thing, but when it comes to the ports being put on the keys, it's a strange decision.īoth the USB-A and Bluetooth keys have NFC built in, but the functionality isn’t turned on yet. The device looks like a traditional security key. The key lets you log in to many well-known websites and apps, including Gmail, YouTube, Twitter, Dropbox, Office 365, and Xbox Live.The Titan Security Key looks like any other physical authenticator. No matter how you connect it to your PC, the Security Key NFC supports the FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication standards, which isn't surprising, as Yubico contributes to both. That's still cheaper than Google's Titan USB-C/Security Key, which is $35-if you can find it in stock. The Security C NFC costs five dollars more than the USB-A option ($29 versus $24). Hardware authentication company Yubico is addressing that need with an inexpensive security key that allows logins via USB-C-or with just a tap of the key to a PC or phone. So security keys that serve as a form of multi-factor authentication or passwordless login need to play well with the port. The European Union even wants to force the use of USB-C. Because of its power delivery, high transfer rates, and Thunderbolt capabilities, USB-C has become ubiquitous on modern devices.
