Furthermore, you can use it alongside your contact or contactless card reader if you prefer to connect through a USB port. By adding the FIDO 2 security key for Cloudflare two-factor authentication, your account will be effectively protected from phishing, takeovers and unauthorized access.
What is a Security Key for Cloudflare?
Passwords are failing. From password hacks and leakages to poor password habits, the problems with password use are almost endless.
Using a FIDO2 security key makes it very difficult for cybercriminals to access your CloudFlare account because it is a hardware device. It is not an app or phone number but a physical item kept in your possession. This makes the FIDO 2 security key superior to SMS-based verification as your account is protected against SIM swapping and interception.
When compared to other forms of authentication, the Cryptnox FIDO 2 security key is easier and faster to use. You don’t have to worry about accessing your mobile device or copying passcodes each time you need to access your account. You can easily authenticate your login through a simple touch (NFC) or USB port.
