NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Integration allows True Key extension
to leverage the power of Windows Hello’s secure authentication
factors to provide a more secure long in and authentication
experience with new browser support for Microsoft Edge.

Today Intel Security announced the new integration of the True
Key extension with Windows Hello to deliver a seamless multi-factor
sign in experience on Microsoft Edge. Now, Windows 10 customers can
enable the new True Key app extension integrated with Windows Hello
on Microsoft Edge to enjoy an easier and safer way to unlock their
online accounts.
In today’s digital world, consumers increasingly live their
lives online. In 2015, the internet surpassed more than 1 billion
websites with a primary method of verifying a user’s identity being
a username and password. By providing built-in multi-factor
protection, the True Key app allows users to increase their online
security by retiring their bad password habits, and start creating
long, strong, and complicated passwords for all their online
accounts.
With this integration, Windows 10 users can download the True
Key Microsoft Edge extension, connect their True Key app profile
and enjoy Windows Hello secure authentication factors. The True Key
extension will remember a user’s existing passwords and create new
ones, as well as automatically fill in their username and password
when logging in to websites or apps.
“The password problem won’t disappear overnight, which is why
working with Windows Hello is a big step in the shared vision
between Intel Security and Microsoft of a password-free future,”
said Richard Reiner, CTO True Key by Intel Security. “By providing
True Key app users with enhanced multi-factor protection and
support for dynamic web form-filling – we continue to build an
application that will encourage better password management and
online security.”
To enjoy this more secure and seamless sign-in experience
download the True Key extension for Microsoft Edge from Windows
Store here, then go to your security preferences and enable Window
Hello authentication.
Other key features and enhancements to the True Key app
include:
- Additional Desktop Browser
Support: In addition to supporting Internet Explorer, Microsoft
Edge, and Chrome, the True Key app now supports the Firefox web
browser for a seamless and more secure desktop browsing
experience.
- Advanced Login Preferences for
Mobile Devices: Android and iOS users can now combine up to
three different authentication factors to log in to their True Key
app account. Users can select from factors such as their face,
fingerprint, trusted device or a master password to log in to their
True Key application.
- Enhanced Android Features and
Browser Support: Android users can now log in to the True Key
app using their fingerprint as an authentication method, untrust a
lost or unused PC or mobile device, and use the native Android
browser or Opera browser to surf the web safely and securely.
