But they were previously available only as a $50 bundle. Google already sells two other models with NFC and Bluetooth capabilities.

Titan Security Keys are phishing-resistant two-factor authentication (2FA) devices from Google, designed with an intent to cryptographically verify an individual’s identity while signing in to an online service, thereby defending users against account takeover attacks. The internet giant has announced a USB-C Titan Security Key, manufactured by Swedish company Yubico, that’s compatible with Android, Chrome OS, macOS, and Windows devices for a price tag of $40.

Hopefully things will improve once NFC support arrives in the coming months.Do you have a laptop or a phone with USB-C port? Then Google has got you covered when it comes to securing your online accounts and preventing unauthorized access. 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. 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.
