- Hey guys, it's Josh of VPN Video Reviews.
I am excited because today I just got in the mail
my Titan Security Key by Google.
In this video we gonna walk through exactly
how to set up these keys to secure your online accounts.
(mystical sound)
So, we're gonna begin by opening up the box
for the Titan Security Key.
This bundle comes with a getting started package
and a warranty page.
And of course you've got the USB key and the Bluetooth key
that I'm gonna keep on my key chain.
They're also so kind as present you
with a USB to Micro-USB cable and a USB-C to USB adapter.
Okay, now that we have our keys let's jump on over
to the computer and get the set-up on Google.
Alright, I'm gonna click up here, going to my Google account
and I'm gonna sign in in security.
And what I'm looking for is the two step verification
that you see down here.
Now, this two step verification can be done
in a number of different ways,
but right now I already have it set up
to do two step verification for my phone
with my phone number right here.
Now, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna scroll down
and you see you can add up backup codes, a Google Prompt.
These are different ways to set up
two factor authentication,
but I'm going to add a security key.
So, I do have a security key
and I'm going to register the key by going ahead
and plugging it in.
There we go.
And then I'm gonna tab the button.
And I'm gonna allow.
And I'm gonna name that, I'm just gonna say
Josh's Wireless Key.
Alright, and that is done.
So, that one is been secured.
And then I'm going to add another security key
and that's where I'm gonna plug in my USB device over here.
And then press the button.
Click allow.
And that's going to add this security key
which I'm gonna call Josh's USB Key.
So, now I'm done, I've added both of
these keys and so I have the option
for security of both, my phone number as well as these keys.
So now the next step is get this all set up on my phone.
Now, as you can see here I've already downloaded
the Google Smart Lock App.
And I'm gonna use this app to sign in to my account.
Now, it's worth noting that this is an app
that I downloaded in addition to having
like a Gmail app or something else.
It's not something that replaces it.
So, at this point I'm going to press this button
on my key fob here, the security key
until the blue light starts blinking.
And when that does I'm going to pair the security key.
And it's getting into pairing mode and I find it here.
That's going to ask me for a digit
that is on the back of this device.
And I'm going to put in that digit here.
Now, I've put in that digit and I've paired the device
and so I am secured to sign in.
And I am good to go.
Great, now that we've set things up,
both on our computer and our phone,
anytime we wanna lock in, to say Gmail or Facebook
we just need to have this Bluetooth key with us.
If we're on our phone or we need to plug in
this USB key into our computer.
Once I said up this computer as a trusted device
I don't necessary have to do that every single time.
But if I wanted to go to a public computer
or a friend's computer all I need to do is bring this key
in order to log in and they'll know that it's me.
Congratulations, you have set up your security key.
The same can be done not just for Gmail but also for
Facebook and a number of other online applications.
