The Security Key Series is a hardware based authentication solution that provides superior defense against phishing, eliminates account takeovers, and enables compliance requirements for strong authentication

Strong Authentication

The Security Key Series offers superior security by combining hardware-based authentication and public key cryptography to effectively defend against phishing attacks and eliminate account takeovers. It offers support for FIDO U2F and FIDO 2.

Passwordless Enabled

The Security Key Series helps organizations accelerate to a passwordless future by providing support for the FIDO2 protocol.

Easy, Fast and Reliable

The Security Key Series provides a simple and intuitive authentication experience that users find easy to use, ensuring rapid adoption and organizational security. With authentication speeds up to 4X faster than OTP or SMS based authentication, security keys do not require a battery or network connectivity, making authentication always accessible.
