Google Focuses on NFC for its Titan Security Keys

Aug 10, 2021, 10:16 AM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

Google has simplified its lineup of Titan hardware security keys, dropping Bluetooth options in favor of NFC to connect to phones. There are now just two models, one with USB-A and another with USB-C for connecting to computers. Titan keys offer a vastly more secure way to sign in to online services compared to passwords and SMS codes. They also protect against phishing.

Better ways

I did buy the original Titan kit although it took forever it felt for Google to get the NFC piece working. The Bluetooth piece worked but is clunky to use.

I moved over to Yubikey a while ago to get USB C and NFC together on a key. Google is kind of late for this change.
