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.

Million Times Million By Susam Pal on 03 Jul 2025 Is a million times a million a billion or is it a trillion? For my entire childhood, it was a billion, only for me to grow up and realise, as an adult, that it had better be a trillion! Growing Up With the Long Scale As a child, I stumbled upon an old dictionary lying around our house, and that was where I discovered the names of large numbers.
