This is the best cross-platform 2FA app I’ve used — and you should try it too

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-01 00:30:49

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority When a sizeable chunk of online attacks involves weak passwords and unauthorized account access, second-factor authentication (2FA) is one of those magic bullets that can save your digital life from getting compromised. But they’re only usable if they don’t become an inconvenience themselves. Inconvenient — that’s exactly what a lot of 2FA apps have been for me. Some wanted to lock me down to their app, some had themselves been compromised, while others were

Microsoft is moving closer to a password-free future, and if you're still using the Authenticator app to manage logins, big changes are coming fast. Starting Aug. 1, the app will no longer support passwords at all. This shift has already been in motion-new password creation was disabled in June, and autofill support was cut off in July. For years, Microsoft Authenticator was a go-to for managing both multi-factor authentication and saved passwords. But now, it's being refocused to support passk

How passkeys work: Going passwordless with public key cryptography

zdnet.com David Berlind 2025-08-01 02:00:00

Vitalii Gulenok/Getty Images For the last five years, the FIDO Alliance -- led by Apple, Microsoft, and Google (with other companies in tow) -- has been blazing a trail toward a future where passwords are no longer necessary in order to login to our favorite websites and apps. This so-called passwordless future is based on a new form of login credential known as the passkey, which itself is largely based on another technology -- public key cryptography -- that's been around for decades.

How passkeys work: Let's start the passkey registration process

Photoraidz/Getty Images Previously on our passkey journey, I talked about the challenge of figuring out if a relying party -- typically, the operator of a website or app -- even offers the ability to sign in with a passkey instead of the more traditional and less secure username and password-based approach. Some of the biggest relying parties in the world -- including Apple, Google, and Microsoft -- support passkeys as a means of passwordless authentication. Together, these tech giants can int

The MFA You Trust Is Lying to You – and Here's How Attackers Exploit It

Still getting login codes via text or authenticator apps? You’re not alone—and that’s a big problem. What used to feel like a smart security layer is now one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access to your accounts. First we were told to use SMS for MFA. Then we were told: “Don’t use SMS for MFA, use an authenticator app instead.” And while that may seem like a step forward, it’s still fundamentally flawed.

Lost for 300 Years, Pirate-Plundered Treasure Ship Discovered off Madagascar Coast

In 1721, pirates attacked and seized a Portuguese ship carrying a massive trove of treasure en route to Lisbon. Now, researchers believe they’ve discovered its remains off the coast of Madagascar. The discovery comes from two researchers from the Center for Historic Shipwreck Preservation in Massachusetts, who have conducted several studies on the wreckage over the last 16 years.
