It's never been more important to add two-factor authentication to your online accounts. Two-factor adds another layer of protection in case your password is stolen or hacked, by relying on a physical thing you own. Normally this is done with a cell phone, where you get an SMS or phone call. But maybe you're tired of hauling out your phone every time you log in to your Gmail or GitHub account? That's where physical USB tokens can make your life way easier. These work seamlessly on Chrome or Opera web-browsers, with no drivers or special plugins. Just press the button to log in, no waiting around for an SMS!The FIDO2 U2F Token from Key-ID is a compact USB security token that adds a strong second factor to user logins for the growing number of online services that support this new technology. Compatible with Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Chromebook, this security key is designed to work straight out of the box and enjoys native support in Chrome and other FIDO-compliant browsers and add-ons. Online service providers that support FIDO2 U2F as part of their two-step verification include Google, Dropbox, and GitHub.Defeat phishing attacksFIDO authentication protocols enforce the verification of message origin, so bogus websites will not be recognized, which makes them thoroughly resistant to phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.Works out of the boxNo additional software required for fast, easy, and reliable authentication to the extensive range of business and consumer services that support FIDO2 or FIDO U2F security.Microsoft login compatibleKEY-ID FIDO2 keys support the Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP2) extensions required by Microsoft for FIDO2 authenticated login to Windows 10 devices joined to Azure AD.Supplied with a key ring loop attachment, the KEY-ID FIDO2 U2F token does not require dedicated drivers or software, performing all account and key management tasks automatically according to the FIDO Alliance standards.
