Protect your online accounts with Google's Titan Security Keys (or a YubiKey)

Titan Security Keys have extra “special sauce” from Google—firmware that’s embedded in a hardware chip within the key that helps to verify that the key hasn’t been tampered with.

Titan Security Keys work with popular browsers (including Chrome) and a growing ecosystem of services (including Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox and more) that support FIDO standards.

Kits of two keys (one USB and one Bluetooth) are now available to U.S. customers on the Google Store and will be coming soon to additional regions.

Whilst this is very nice a direct established competitor is also the YubiKey, which is NFC enabled, multi-protocol and ship worldwide. So research before you shop.
