Microsoft Authenticator on iOS moves backups fully to iCloud

Microsoft is rolling out a new backup system in September for its Authenticator app on iOS, removing the requirement to use a Microsoft personal account to back up TOTP secrets and account names. Previously, the Microsoft Authenticator app required iOS users to sign in with a personal Microsoft Account to enable backups, regardless of whether they were using the app for personal or enterprise credentials.

DC Studios’ Superman has, of course, come out of the gate with an extensive line of merch inspired by James Gunn’s new vision for the Man of Steel.

The Death of Partying in the USA and Why It Matters

news.ycombinator.com Derek Thompson 2026-03-09 02:43:43

In January, The Atlantic's Ellen Cushing published an essay with an admirably blunt title: “Americans Need to Party More.” Burrowing into the appendix tables of the American Time Use Survey, she unearthed the fact that just 4.1 percent of Americans said they “attended or hosted” a party or ceremony on a typical weekend or holiday in 2023. In other words, in any given weekend, just one in 25 US households had plans to attend a social event. The ATUS is a government questionnaire that asks a larg

And so, to fix that problem, late in the filmmaking process, he looked to another one of his favorite films for the fix. When Superman hits theaters this week, it opens with six sentences that set up not just the world of the DC Universe, but Superman’s origin and the film’s plot, all in
