Enhancing Security: Microsoft Introduces Passkey Authentication for Personal Accounts
Microsoft Introduces Passkey Authentication for Windows Users
Microsoft recently unveiled a new feature that allows Windows users to log into their Microsoft consumer accounts using passkeys. This innovative method eliminates the need for traditional passwords and offers enhanced security through options like Windows Hello, FIDO2 security keys, biometric data, or device PINs.
Understanding Microsoft Consumer Accounts
When we mention Microsoft “consumer accounts,” we are referring to personal accounts used to access various Microsoft services and products, including Windows, Office, 365, Outlook, One Drive, Copilot, and Xbox Live.
As part of World Password Day, Microsoft made this announcement to combat phishing attacks and pave the way for a password-less future. By embracing passkeys, Microsoft aims to enhance security measures and streamline the authentication process for its users.
Enhancing Security with Passkeys
Passkeys represent a password-less authentication method that relies on a cryptographic key pair.

They discover a Trojan that pretends to be a Chrome update to steal accounts and banking details
MADRID, (Portaltic/EP) – Cybersecurity researchers discovered a Trojan, known as Brokewell, that masquerades as a Chrome update on Android and provides cybercriminals with remote access to all assets available through mobile banking.
A Trojan is a type of ‘malware’ embedded in a seemingly legitimate executable file. This means that, once downloaded, the file accesses the device with the intention of carrying out malicious actions, such as stealing information.
Analysts from the security firm ThreatFabric have discovered a new family of mobile malware, called Brokewell, that “represents a significant threat to the banking industry,” as they noted in a statement.
The Brokewell Trojan, which appears to be in active development and adds new commands “almost daily,” is capable of bypassing Android 13+ restrictions and comes as an update to Google Chrome.
Specifically, cybercriminals introduce an

Fallout: London delayed due to (very late) next-gen update of Fallout 4
While the launch date of Fallout: London had finally been set for April 23 (because Saint George’s Day and 1st day in the “game”), the decision by Bethesda to publish – after 2 years of delay – the update “next-gen” day for Fallout 4 forces Team FOLON to postpone the deadline at the last minute. For what ? Quite simply, because like every Fallout update, the version number of the game changes and therefore, an update of the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) is required. However, F4SE is an essential component for many mods, especially those modifying the game in depth, like this one.
In other words, publish Fallout: London two days before the Fallout 4 “next-gen” update (which in reality has nothing next-gen, since it is above all a slight adaptation of Fallout 4 to existing hardware and again, without the shadow of DLSS or FSR or raytracing) would make no sense, because the mod would be unusable 48 hours later.
