Key is securely held. If a player looses possession of the ball while executing the tag, s/he obviously wasn't holding the ball securely. If the player makes the tag while the umpire has determined the ball was securely held and then the ball comes loose, it is a tag.
There is no requirement to pull the ball away or "complete" a tag for it to be valid and/or legal, whatever.
