In today’s cyber threat landscape, phishing-resistant authentication isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s where the Swissbit iShield Key 2 comes in.

This compact, robust security key delivers strong hardware-based authentication in a familiar USB-A or USB-C form factor, designed to seamlessly integrate with modern identity ecosystems. Whether you're implementing FIDO2, WebAuthn, or U2F, the iShield Key 2 helps organizations of all sizes take a crucial step toward passwordless security.

Built for Business. Ready for Zero Trust.

The iShield Key 2 is more than a FIDO2 key—it’s Swissbit's answer to the increasing demand for portable, reliable, and phishing-resistant credentials in regulated industries and beyond.

Key benefits include:

  • FIDO2 and U2F support for modern passwordless and MFA architectures
  • Rugged, industrial-grade design with optional tamper-evident seal
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and major browsers
  • Ideal for enterprises, government agencies, and MSPs that demand scalable, standards-based authentication

Specialized Variants for Enhanced Use Cases

For environments that require more than just strong authentication, the iShield Key 2 is available in advanced variants. The MIFARE-enabled model includes a contactless smartcard interface for physical access control integration—ideal for organizations looking to unify digital and physical identity. 

For higher-assurance needs, the FIPS 140-3 Level 2 variant meets federal security standards, making it suitable for government and regulated sectors where compliance is critical. These expanded options make the iShield Key 2 a flexible choice for virtually any identity deployment.
