Microsoft Authenticator on iOS moves backups fully to iCloud

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-12 11:37:27

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. This created problems in enterprise environments where organizations often like to keep p

The clock is ticking -- or maybe it's chicking. McDonald's Snack Wraps, a chicken-tortilla entree that's been missing from US locations of the Golden Arches, returns to the huge fast-food chain on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. local time (if you want to be the first in line). A recent analysis by VegasInsider.com found that the Snack Wrap was by far the most searched for discontinued McDonald's menu item of 2025.

NASA is set to lose at least 2,145 senior staff members as part of the Trump administration's push for budget cuts, Politico reports. The brain drain could severely impact future research and missions, and is happening not long before the organization plans to send a new crew of astronauts to the Moon in 2026. Of the over 2,000 departing staff members, nearly all of them are in senior positions, requiring specialized skills or management experience. "Those leaving include 1,818 staff serving in

Oh No, ‘Big Bang Theory’ Is Returning to Literally Destroy the Universe

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-12 13:50:45

You’d think io9—a site run by nerds—would enjoy a sitcom featuring a cast of nerd characters. Like, say, The Big Bang Theory, which ran on CBS for 12 seasons. But you’d be wrong: we loathed the show, especially for its often wrong-headed approach to geeky interests (remember how dirty it did Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples’ wonderful comic Saga?), and we cheered when it finally wrapped up in 2019. But The Big Bang Theory obviously had a crap-ton of fans; you don’t get to 12 seasons and two sp

MMORPG players love making challenges for themselves beyond the actual challenges offered by their games. Setting artificial level caps, soloing content designed for groups, empowering yourself through ways outside of the typical grind—you name it, someone has probably tried it in an MMO.

Linda Yaccarino has announced that she’s stepping down as CEO of X, a little over two years after being tapped by Elon Musk to lead the platform formerly known as Twitter. Here’s what she had to say. ‘Two incredible years’ In a post on X earlier today, Yaccarino reflected on her time at the company, thanking users, business partners, and the team for what she described as “two incredible years” at the helm: After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino: My Work Here Is Done

Linda Yaccarino announced Wednesday she was stepping down as CEO of X in a tweet that showed no sign of bad feelings toward X owner Elon Musk. But the timing is certainly interesting after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok promoted genocidal Nazi ideas on Tuesday, praising Adolf Hitler and suggesting a second Holocaust against Jews was needed. “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino wrote in a tweet Wednesday morning that immediately got flooded with questions about

Yaccarino will be leaving X in a better position with its advertisers than she found it, it says. In the U.S., ad spending was up 62% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, Guideline notes.
