Google has recently begun creating a USB device that holds a users information. This USB would be used as a type of identity holder and is said to be extremely secure. The key can be used either monthly or daily and can connect to any computer or Google account. Instead of putting in information every time one uses a computer, he or she can simply insert the USB and their login and password will be entered.
This key is planned on being sold for less than $20. The change from "typed in logins" to keys will diminish the amount of accounts that are hacked through passwords. Key USB devices are becoming a more common way of opening accounts and securing information.
The Key USB is the most secure option due to the inability of hacking the chip that is inside the key. Many hackers intercept logins through text messages or breaking into cellphones, however, one would not be able to hack into the Google Key unless they physically have the key.
