Hopefully things will improve once NFC support arrives in the coming months. The USB-C/NFC Titan Security Key is the latest version of Google's hardware security key, designed to keep the bad guys from taking over your online accounts. Google Titan Security Key works brilliantly with desktop browsers, but the mobile implementation so far seems to be lacking. The Bluetooth key was actually detected this time, and we got as far as entering the PIN (a six-digit number printed on the back of the key), but the process then ground to a halt and the key refused to connect
The Twitter app apparently doesn’t support security keys, so we tried logging in through a browser. We were able to set up the key to protect our Twitter account on a desktop, but again ran into trouble on mobile. It’s not yet possible to use the NFC capability with an Android device, so we weren't able to try this as an alternative, but Google says the feature will be coming later this year. My colleagues at Tom’s Hardware (opens in new tab) had similar trouble getting it to connect to an iPhone. You can enroll a security key on a computer, an Android device (9.0 or above), or an iOS device (13.3 or above), using a compatible browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (14 or above).Īfter you add your Titan key to your Google Account, you can use the key to sign in to the following compatible devices: ComputersĬompatible computers have a USB port and the latest version of a browser supporting W3C Web Authentication:Ĭompatible Android devices run Android 9.0 or above, or Android 5.0 or above and have the latest version of Google Play Services.Unfortunately, we ran into difficulty with the Bluetooth key on our Android phone despite being in pairing mode, the key simply couldn’t be found.
