After opening up its security keys earlier this year, Google announced that it will now be easier for users to register new keys by extending support to other browsers and devices. G Suite and Cloud Identity users will now be able to register security keys using Chrome on Android or Safari on macOS. To register a mobile device security key, your device must be running at least Android 7.0 Nougat and have Chrome 70+ installed. This will allow you to register a USB, Bluetooth or NFC security key directly from your smartphone. MacOS users will need to be running Safari 13.0.4 to register security keys for Apple laptops and desktops.

To set up a new security key, users must first sign in to their Google account on the web and access security settings. From there, you'll need to go to the "Sign in to Google" section and click on 9-Step Verification, where you'll find the "Add a security key" option. Users are then guided through the process of pairing a device with their account and shown where to type for NFC on mobile devices. Once your security key is saved, you'll need to plug it in, tap to use NFC, or click to connect via Bluetooth to verify that it's trying to connect to your Google account. Security keys have proven to be an effective way to combat phishing, as hackers cannot intercept temporary codes used by other two-factor authentication methods. Via 5toXNUMXGoogle
