Social Media: Facebook & Twitter are currently the only social media platforms that utilize U2F.While the Google Titan Security Key is designed to be used with all Google products, it’s also part of the Universal 2-Factor Authentication (U2F) standard that can be used elsewhere. Setup with other accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Salesforce and others is very similar and needs to be done separately. You’ll always have to physically plug in a key to a computer, which can be done either with the USB or Bluetooth keys (with cable that came with the bundle. “However, for existing users with our Bluetooth Titan Security Keys, these will continue to work with Bluetooth and will continue to work as an NFC key on most modern mobile devices.**Note**: To my dismay, the Bluetooth key only works with phones, not with computers. “Since NFC functionality is now supported by a wide range of Android phones and iPhones, we are discontinuing Bluetooth Titan Security Key and focusing on the easier and more widely available NFC capability,” Google explains in a blog post. The security keys work in conjunction with Google’s Advanced Protection Program, enabling users to enrol the key to their computer or mobile device and use it “like a second lock after your password” to provide an added layer of protection against phishing and account hacking. Previously, only the USB-A version of the key offered NFC functionality for authenticating with Android and iOS devices, but Google has also now added it to the USB-C version as well. Google has added NFC functionality to both of the latest versions of its Titan Security Key, enabling Google account holders to use them as a second layer of authentication when signing into their account or compatible third-party apps and services by tapping the key on their mobile device. EXTRA SECURITY: The latest Titan Security Keys now have NFC for connecting to most mobile devices
