Google may start asking users that still utilize passwords instead of their passkeys to wait 24 hours before they can access their account. | Illustration: The Verge Google is kicking off World Password Day by updating us on its efforts to replace the often hacked‚ guessed‚ and stolen form of authentication with passkeys. Their passwordless approach relies on device-based authentication instead‚ making logging in faster and more secure.

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Nvidia is releasing a script that simplifies getting its GeForce Now cloud gaming service up and running on Valve’s Steam Deck device. The script automatically installs Google Chrome‚ adjusts the browser to enable gamepad use‚ and then adds a GeForce Now shortcut to your Steam library. While the script automates the process of using the SteamOS terminal app to install Chrome and enable gamepad support‚ you’ll still need to make some manual tweaks to get GeForce Now working as you’d expect. Once you launch GeForce Now‚ you’ll need to press the Steam menu button and head into controller settings to change the value of Current Button Layout to “Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad.” This will allow you to use the trackpad to control the mouse inside...

Image: Bose Say what you will about Bose’s more ambitious swings — I appreciate that it takes them in the first place — but today‚ the company is releasing a new product in a category that it’s always been pretty excellent at: Bluetooth speakers. Bose is more or less supersizing its SoundLink Flex into a new‚ larger model called the SoundLink Max. Considering how Bose’s acoustic processing has for years squeezed impressive sound out of relatively small hardware‚ I’m excited to hear what a bigger device is capable of. Coming May 16th for a price of $399‚ the new speaker is loaded with three transducers and two custom-designed passive radiators. So right there‚ you’re already in for quite an improvement over the mono SoundLink Flex. Now‚ I can get... Continue reading…

While LastPass seems to be working to regain users' trust after critical data breaches‚ 1Password keeps pushing new features to make its platform the go-to choice when managing passwords and sensitive data. Today‚ 1Password launches a new solution to enable businesses to secure every sign-in to every app from every device. The industry's first Extended Access Management solution fills critical gaps between identity‚ access management‚ and mobile device management. “Security tools haven’t kept pace with the modern work environment‚ leaving security and IT teams without the ability to prevent sensitive data from flowing into unmanaged applications or block compromised devices from accessing critical applications‚” said Jeff Shiner‚ CEO of 1Password. “Businesses everywhere are facing the Access Trust Gap‚ a measure of the percentage of total sign-ins that aren’t trusted. The greater the gap‚ the greater the risk of a data breach. 1Password Extended Access Management provides security and IT teams with a way to secure every sign-in to every application – managed or unmanaged – from every device.” Image source: 1Password With Extended Access Management‚ 1Password wants to simplify work from home but with extra care. This function secures access to all the places sensitive business data goes‚ giving companies the ability to manage: Unsanctioned and unmanaged apps and websites (shadow IT) not secured behind single sign-on (SSO) Unmanaged devices unprotected by mobile device management (MDM) or outside its scope altogether (BYOD)  Image source: 1Password This is what 1Password Extended Access Management includes to ensure every app sign-in is secure and every device is healthy: Device trust – secures devices by monitoring device health in real-time to identify and remediate device compliance issues before permitting access‚ even for bring-your-own devices and contractors.  User identity (available in beta in fall 2024) – secures the workforce by managing the entire lifecycle of end-user identity from provisioning user access to offboarding.  Application visibility (available in beta in fall 2024) – secures all applications by providing IT and security teams visibility into the use of unmanaged applications‚ including shadow IT‚ in their businesses‚ enabling them to take newly discovered applications from unseen to managed.  Enterprise password management – securely stores and shares credentials and sensitive information – from logins and SSH keys to credit cards – with 1Password’s award-winning enterprise password manager. Universal sign-on – extends single sign-on (SSO) to every application and website to reduce risk and secure every authentication‚ no matter how users sign in. Contextual access management– applies policies to block access to apps on unhealthy devices and guide end users through self-remediation to regain access quickly.
