Making the Advanced Protection Program and Titan Security Keys easier to use on Apple iOS devices
June 3, 2020
Posted by Christiaan Brand, Product Manager, Google Cloud
Starting today, we’re rolling out a change that enables native support for the
W3C WebAuthn
implementation for Google Accounts on Apple devices running iOS 13.3 and above. This capability, available for both personal and work Google Accounts, simplifies your security key experience on compatible iOS devices and allows you to use more types of security keys for your Google Account and the
Advanced Protection Program
.
Using an NFC security key on iPhone
More security key choices for users
Both the USB-A and Bluetooth
Titan Security Keys
have NFC functionality built-in. This allows you to tap your key to the back of your iPhone when prompted at sign-in.
You can use a Lightning security key like the
YubiKey 5Ci
or any USB security key if you have an
Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
You can plug a USB-C security key in directly to an iOS device that has a USB-C port (such as an iPad Pro).
We suggest installing the
Smart Lock app
in order to use Bluetooth security keys and your phone’s built-in security key, which allows you to use your
iPhone as an additional security key
for your Google Account.
In order to add your Google Account to your iOS device, navigate to “Settings > Passwords & Accounts” on your iOS device or install the Google app and sign in.
Account security best practices
We highly recommend users at a higher risk of targeted attacks to get security keys (such as
Titan Security Key
or your
Android or iOS phone
) and enroll into the
Advanced Protection Program
. If you’re working for political committees in the United States, you may be eligible to
request free Titan Security Keys
through the Defending Digital Campaigns to get help enrolling into Advanced Protection.
You can also use security keys for any site where FIDO security keys are supported for 2FA, including your personal or work
