With a physical key, Google says it can protect you from nation-state hackers

Even the toughest hackers will be powerless to access your account without your physical key, Google contends

The keyring acts a lot like a physical key to your inbox. Whenever you log-in to your account, Google will prompt you to use the keyfob as a two-factor device. Either plug it in as a USB key or push the Bluetooth button, and you’re granted access to your account

It’s early days, but it’s a promising step from the company, and it can’t come a moment too soon for those who need it.
