What is a Trusted Platform (TPM) and a Security Key?

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a small security chip available in nearly all computers produced after 2010 and running Windows 10 or later versions. For Apple, this security chip is known as the T1 (or later version) chip. If your computer is compatible with TPM*, it will allow you to authenticate on EU Login with your biometrics or PIN code used to access your computer. 

A Security Key is a portable device that you can use across computers, smartphones and tablets and which can be plugged in via USB or can connect to your devices via Bluetooth or NFC.
