The Titan USB key, like the YubiKey, does not require a battery. A battery indicator flickers red when it's time to recharge. The Micro USB charges the Titan Bluetooth key, which, unlike the USB key, can run down. In my short time testing the Titan keys, the USB-A connector was already starting to look a little scraped up.Īlso in the box are some stylishly designed-if a bit vague-instructions, along with a micro USB to USB-A cable, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

I've been using a Yubico YubiKey 4 for several years, and it's starting to look pretty worn despite being cast in black plastic. Rattling around on a keyring is sure to put some noticeable wear and tear on the pristine Titan devices.

The USB key device has no moving parts, requires no batteries. The USB key is flat with a gold disk on one side, which detects your tap and completes the authentication. A single micro USB port on the bottom is for charging and/or connecting the Bluetooth key to your computer. The Bluetooth key has a single button, and three LED indicators to show authentication, Bluetooth connection, and that it's either charging or in need of a charge.
