Google is distributing another 100,000 free pieces of security hardware to protect people involved in high-risk industries.

Google’s Titan Security Keys work as a “second factor” that can be used after passwords are entered. They can also store passkeys — which let users sign in to apps and sites the same way they unlock their devices: with a fingerprint, a face scan or a screen lock PIN.

With Titan Security Keys, users can store passkeys for accounts beyond Google, including Microsoft. It uses FIDO2 technology, a security standard for authentication on the web.
