These security keys provide two factor authentication (2FA) by being attached to the user’s PC or MAC device and then being touched by the user. When activated the security keys uses a FIDO protocol to log into the chosen application so there is nothing left to phish!
Working with the FIDO alliance many of the most popular sites like Dropbox, Facebook, GitHub, Google and Salesforce support Security Keys based on 2FA.
