Better account security is coming to Facebook  

They will be adding passkey support. Why are Passkeys better? Because they prevent you from being tricked into giving your credentials to a fake site. They also can't be stolen, guessed, or leaked.   

A password doesn't care who it sends it to, you just hand it over and if it matches it lets you in, but you could be handing it over to anyone, the real site, or a fake site. A passkey is a more sophisticated form of authentication that first sends you a secret key. If that secret key matches, meaning that site and your device can now confirm they know each other, then a different key is sent back to log you in – the site also verifies that.  

Think of it like a secure handshake with only the one person you want to shake hands with – everything is verified before sending any details.  

 

Meta and Oakley are teaming up for a smart glasses collab  

Meta really wants smart glasses to be a thing! They're releasing five Oakley styles to appeal to more people. The Oakley glasses have a 3K front-facing camera (that records video), open-ear speakers, and microphones built into the frame. When connected to your phone you can listen to music or podcasts, conduct phone calls, or chat with Meta AI.  

 

Your Kindle is about to get more accessible  

With the latest software update rolling out there'll be more options for adjusting line spacing, paragraph spacing, word spacing, and even character spacing. It's a big improvement for those with vision impairments.
