KeyNavigator Two Factor Authentication
Because KeyBank is committed to helping your business accounts remain safe and secure, we invest in the most current cybersecurity tools to keep KeyNavigator protected. As part of your KeyNavigator onboarding process, you'll choose either or both authentication technologies based on how you access KeyNavigator.
- Computer – FIDO Security Key
This read-only security key is inserted into your computer’s USB port.
The key will be shipped to you and should arrive within one week of the date you select and register it. - Mobile or other devices – Biometric Authentication
This method uses fingerprint or facial ID to verify identity.
Please note your device (such as computer, mobile phone or tablet) must be enabled with fingerprint and/or facial recognition technology for this option.
