Excitingly, Google intends to distribute 100,000 Titan Security Keys for free throughout 2024 to those considered high-risk individuals globally. To ensure security, users can set up a PIN code in conjunction with a passkey for their Google Account login, instead of relying on passwords.

The Titan Security Keys are built with a dedicated hardware chip and firmware, ensuring key integrity and protecting against physical tampering. Moreover, they’re durable, waterproof, dustproof, and don’t need batteries or moving parts, making them ideal for long-term usage.
