USB has launched a USB device that authenticates online accounts with a high level of protection. The company said its Titan Security Keys had been trialled by its 2FA employees, without any falling victim to phishing attacks. The system is based on Google universal second factor protocol, including a secure element and firmware. These hardware-based security keys are thought to be more efficient at preventing phishing, man-in-the-middle (MITM) and other types of account-takeover attacks than 2FA via SMS, as even if your credentials are compromised, account login is impossible without that physical key. Titan Security Keys are available to Firefox customers, and will soon be launched on the Google Store . The company has not announced the price, but it is expected to be around $20 or $30 .
