The Titan M2 is a totally separate custom chip that has more storage, memory, and better cryptography engines for key management.

While Pixel devices have implemented Google’s world-class Titan M Security Chips since the Pixel 3, and all of the company’s phones from that point on have Google’s world-class security on board, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro went ahead and built on that to make things so much more secure with the Titan M2. For that reason, I find it important to mention that Google’s most recent phones – the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro – come with the Titan Security Key built right into them, meaning that a load of people who have already purchased these devices can benefit from advanced security without the need for the additional purchase of a standalone keychain accessory. However, these may not always be something the average user thinks to go and pick up, nor does everyone truly understand these accessories. Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro and the Titan M2 Chip Do keep in mind that you can also set up backup codes and even use an Authenticator app on your phone to get logged in with 2 step verification, but going a “step” further than that, did you know that you can also use a standalone device to add an extra layer of separation between you and malicious attempts?

Today, I’m going to be talking about the Titan Security Key – a hardware chip that helps prevent account takeovers from phishing attacks and ensures that no one else can access your device but you. While Google does offer the Advanced Security Program which safeguards users with high visibility and sensitive information from targeted online attacks (think journalists, politicians, human rights activists, etc.), there are other ways to protect yourself and your information beyond this and Google’s excellent, standard account security. We live in a world that increasingly – no…near entirely relies on digital systems, and with that comes the increase in potential threats to your personal data.
