Identiv’s uTrust FIDO2 NFC Security Keys are built in the U.S. and adhere to the highest standards, unlike other leading FIDO security key providers. uTrust FIDO2 allows individuals and businesses to replace passwords with a simple, secure, fast, scalable, and cost-effective login solution.

We’re focused on ensuring everyone working from home, remotely and through mobile devices, have incredibly simple, highly secure access to the most sensitive data,” said Manfred Mueller, Identiv COO and GM, Identiv.  Identiv’s smart card reader technology secures the most critical information for the U.S. federal government and armed forces, and for banks, hospitals, and commercial users around the world. uTrust FIDO2 provides the same trusted, proven technology in a rugged, easy-to-use form factor.  “Standards-based FIDO authentication ends the reliance on passwords, and is applicable across our customer base, including small-to-enterprise organizations, financial services, mobile, healthcare, and government agencies. uTrust FIDO2 demonstrates what’s next in authentication technology — and the security keys are made in America, eliminating the man-in-the-middle risk of foreign government origin while also investing back into the U.S. job market. We’re reinforcing our commitment to simpler, stronger authentication standards in the fluid pandemic-era working environment,” added Mueller.   The security keys work with everyday devices (including phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops) and work across all services (such as Gmail, Facebook, Salesforce, LinkedIn, etc.).
