FaceTec’s 3D FaceMaps™ make trusted, remote identity verification finally possible. The company notes that Google has not yet reported any successful phishing attempts on accounts using its Advanced Protection Program, and says its iOS-friendly YubiKeys can now help organizations bring the number of account takeovers on Apple’s mobile devices down to zero.įaceTec’s patented, industry-leading 3D Face Authentication software anchors digital identity, creating a chain of trust from user onboarding to ongoing authentication on all modern smart devices and webcams. Yubico has also planned a special webinar on the topic of “Securing Google and G Suite Accounts with YubiKeys”, slated to begin at 10:00 a.m.
As far back as 2014, Google was already implementing FIDO U2F support for account authentication through its Chrome browser.įor its part, Yubico says that for this month only, Google Cloud and G Suite account administrators can get an “introductory discount” of $20 per any two YubiKey 5 Series devices, up to a maximum of 20 keys.
It’s the latest indication of Google’s enthusiasm for 2FA security, with the tech giant having announced earlier this year a new open-source project aimed at letting third party vendors build their own security keys. Yubico says that its other YubiKey models can also be used with iOS devices by connecting them using an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. Authentication can be performed with the YubiKey 5Ci and its Lightning connector allowing it to plug directly into an iPhone or iPad or via the YubiKey 5 NFC and Security Key NFC devices, which can simply be tapped to an iOS device for authentication. This means that users of Apple’s mobile devices can now enable their Google apps to require security key authentication when accessed through their iPhone and iPads. The functionality arrives with Google’s support for the WebAuthn authentication protocol on iOS, Apple’s mobile operating platform. IPhone and iPad users can now secure their Google apps with Yubico’s Two-Factor Authentication solutions.
