This will be in addition to the current feature for email administrators to make use of two-factor mobile authentication apps.<\/p>\n<p>FIDO U2F YubiKeys can be purchased directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yubico.com\/products\/yubikey-hardware\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yubico<\/a> or through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thexyz.com\/yubikey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thexyz<\/a>, and one single USB key can access Google, GitHub, WordPress, Dropbox and a growing number of U2F-compliant services. No client software, hardware or third-party services are required, and no encryption secrets or information about users are shared between service providers. <\/p>\n<p>U2F is a new open authentication protocol co-created by Yubico, Google with NXP and is certified by The FIDO Alliance. Thexyz is one of the first non-FIDO member to implement the security advantages of FIDO U2F and offer these benefits to its user base.<br \/>\nEveryday there are countless attempts to steal the credentials of a user through various means. By adding an additional layer of security it can greatly reduce the risks many users are often exposed to. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yubico.com\/\">www.yubico.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO, ON, Feb. 11, 2016 \u2013 Email hosting provider Thexyz has added support for FIDO Universal 2nd Factor, including YubiKeys supporting the new open authentication standard.
