Telefónica relaunches TU Latch, a digital second-factor authentication solution for individuals, businesses and developers, redesigned and updated with new functionalities. This renewal positions TU Latch as a key tool against cyber threats on the network, adding an extra layer of security to applications, accounts and online services.

One of the key features of TU Latch is the ability to create ‘security latches’ that open and close, allowing you to easily and effectively manage access and protect functionality, eliminating the need to remember multiple complicated passwords. Other strengths include the provision of two-factor authentication (2FA) using TOTP and HOTP algorithms, ensuring that only the user can access their accounts, and that if the phone is lost or stolen, data can be recovered thanks to cloud security.

It also offers a ‘Secure Browsing’ option that allows individuals and businesses to verify the authenticity of websites they are browsing through a second factor of authentication and web authorisation that automatically detects all threats and malicious content. Once detected, it blocks the websites on any WiFi network to which it is connected, ensuring the security and privacy of computer browsing. It is currently available for Android and will soon be available for iOS.
