Stilly River Sage Tech: Combining computer security programs? (23) RE: Tech: Combining computer security programs? 15 Nov 24


While we're talking security, you might want to think about passkeys.

What are passkeys? Experience the life-changing magic of going passwordless
Here's how to take the first steps toward ditching passwords for good.
Passkeys are sets of two cryptographic keys: a public key that's registered with the online service or app, and a private key that's stored on a device, such as a smartphone or a computer.

That might sound complicated, but passkeys have been designed to be easy to use. In fact, to log in with a passkey, you use your face, a fingerprint, or a PIN in much the same way that you unlock your smartphone.

The advantage of passkeys is that even if a hacker gets their hands on a website's public key, your account is still locked because they don't have access to the private key on your device.
