APPLE TO REPLACE PASSWORDS WITH FACE ID/TOUCH ID



 

As part of its efforts to eliminate the need for passwords, Apple has finally embraced FIDO Alliance’s WebAuthn protocol to develop what it calls “Passkeys in iCloud Keychain”. The Cupertino giant highlighted its new authentication technology in a WWDC developer session and it helps users sign in to supported apps and websites using Face ID or Touch ID. You don’t need to enter a password to sign up or sign in with this technology.  

Passkeys in iCloud Keychain

Passkeys are WebAuthn credentials to help users seamlessly log in to apps using Face ID or Touch ID on iPhones, Macs, and iPads. They are end-to-end encrypted and stored in iCloud Keychain. According to Apple, Passkeys uses public/ private key pairs and hence doesn’t require servers for storing authentication secrets.

BEWARE OF XIAOMI'S 200W CHARGER

Image
  Xiaomi announced 200W wired charging last month, making for a huge step above even ultra-fast 120W solutions already available in a few phones. The manufacturer says this solution is able to top up a 4,000mAh battery in just eight minutes, but it turns out that this comes at a long-term cost. It turns out that 800 charging and discharging cycles at 200W results in the battery degrading to “above 80%” of its original capacity. 800 cycles corresponds to just over two years, so that means a phone with a 4,000mAh battery will effectively have a 3,200mAh battery (or a little more than this) after two years of charging via this method. Meanwhile, a device with a 5,000mAh battery will essentially have a ~4,000mAh battery after two years of 200W charging.   Read More- Android Authority   <script data-ad-client="ca-pub-5830572339771281" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
