SoloKeys

SoloKeys are physical security keys that provide a more secure way to log into your online accounts. Instead of just using a password, you plug the key into your computer and press its button to authenticate. This method, based on the FIDO2 standard, protects you from phishing attacks and unauthorized account access by requiring physical possession of the key to log in. It works instantly with many popular services including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Salesforce.

The key differentiator for SoloKeys is their commitment to open source. Both the hardware designs and the firmware are open for anyone to inspect, which is rare in the security key market. This transparency allows the community to verify their security and trust that the keys hide no secrets. The process is designed to be simple and consistent across websites: you enter your username and password, then confirm the login with the physical key.

These keys are built for anyone looking to seriously upgrade their online security. Individuals can use them to protect personal email and social media accounts. Businesses can deploy them to secure company logins and protect sensitive data from account takeovers. Developers and makers have a special option, the Solo Hacker, which is a development device for those who want to tinker with and customize the key's firmware.
