KeyNavigator® Security

Learn more about your authentication options.

To help protect your business accounts, KeyNavigator uses advanced, two-factor authentication methods. During onboarding, you'll choose one or both of our options to secure your account.

Authentication Options

  • FIDO Security Key, for computers
    This USB security key arrives within one week of your registration. Simply plug it in when signing on to Key Navigator. 

 

  • Passkey, for devices 
    Passkey generates a unique, private key at the time of sign-in for server-level protection that significantly lowers the risk of account compromise from phishing, stolen credentials, or similar attacks.
