A special offer and new controls for Security Key administrators
Last year, Google worked with the FIDO Alliance standards organization to launch the Security Key — an actual physical key used to simplify 2-Step Verification with Google Accounts. The key adds a layer of protection as it sends an encrypted signature rather than a code, ensuring that login information cannot be phished.
Recently, we announced that we’ve been working on new controls for Google Apps admins to easily deploy, monitor and manage Security Keys for their domains via the Admin console, with no additional software to install. Today, we’re excited to announce that these controls are ready and available in the Admin console for Google Apps Unlimited and Google Apps for Education customers. We also have worked on a new special offer for Google Apps customers that allows them to purchase Security Keys at a 50% discounted rate from Yubico, Security Key manufacturer.
Once Security Keys have been activated by individuals within a domain, Google Apps admins will now be able to do the following with today’s release:
We are using Security Keys at Google because it makes our lives easier and increases security. With these new controls, Google Apps admins can offer the same benefits to people in their domain.
