Google Allows Enrolling Security Keys on More Devices
2020-03-10 04:48

Google has announced that Android and macOS users can now use more web browsers to initially register security keys to their accounts.

Now, Google aims to help more users take advantage of the capability through making it easier to enroll security keys.

The Internet search company now allows users to register security keys on devices running Android 7.0 and up using the Google Chrome web browser, and on macOS devices using Safari.

The new enhancement, Google says, works both with security keys registered independently and with those registered when a user signs up for the Advanced Protection Program for the enterprise.

In January, Google announced a simplified enrollment process for its Advanced Protection Program - meant to help high-risk users better protect their accounts through the use of security keys - and the open sourcing of code for security key devices, in addition to releasing the design for a security key enclosure.
