SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key: a FIDO2 security key with 128 GB of built-in storage
The SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key is a USB-C security key and a 128 GB flash drive in one device. SecuX states that it is certified for FIDO2 and U2F and that it uses PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) technology. A computer recognises it as two independent USB interfaces, one for the security key and one for the flash drive, so you can use both at the same time without switching modes or installing additional software.
What the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key does
-
Passwordless sign-in and two-factor authentication: FIDO2 for passwordless login and U2F for two-factor authentication.
-
128 GB flash drive: built-in storage for keeping files offline and for transferring them between USB-C and USB-A devices.
-
PUF chip: SecuX describes the PUF chip as a unique silicon identity for each device.
-
Touch to confirm: when you log in to a supported service you touch the metal touch panel on the device, which confirms that the real user is present.
-
Two-colour LED: a green light means the security key is working and an orange light means the flash drive is in use.
-
USB-C with a USB-A adapter: the connector is USB-C, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included for older devices.
-
Water and dust resistant: SecuX lists the device as water and dust resistant, IP 68.
Who the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key suits and what it works with
SecuX names small business teams, travellers, content creators, remote workers and DJs and performers as the people it is made for, and describes the flash drive as a way to keep your most important files offline and within reach. SecuX says that as a flash drive the device works like normal USB storage, and SecuX lists it as working without a device driver on Windows, macOS and Linux.
For sign-in, the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key works with services that support FIDO2 or U2F. SecuX’s own list of commonly used platforms includes Google, Microsoft, Apple, GitHub, Dropbox, Proton and Bitwarden, and SecuX asks users to check each service for specific compatibility. See the rest of the range under Security Drives, or contact us with a question about this key.
Can the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key work as a security key and a flash drive at the same time?
Yes. SecuX states that both functions work independently, so you can use them simultaneously without any interference.
How many accounts can the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key hold?
With FIDO2 it can store up to 20 discoverable credentials, also known as hardware-bound passkeys. With FIDO U2F it can be registered with an unlimited number of services, because U2F does not store usernames or discoverable credentials on the device.
Does it need a PIN?
SecuX states that a PIN is needed for FIDO2 passwordless authentication and is not required for U2F. SecuX recommends 4 to 63 characters, with upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
Which systems does the SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key support?
SecuX’s technical specifications list Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, Linux and iOS for both the security key and the flash drive, and SecuX notes that browser support may vary. For the security key, SecuX’s guide gives Windows version 1809 or later, macOS Mojave or later, Android 7 or later and iOS 16.3 or later.
What happens if I lose my SecuX PUFido Drive Clife Key?
SecuX recommends owning at least two, one as your main device and another as a backup, so that you still have access to your accounts if one device is lost or damaged.
