“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.
