Google Chrome now lets you sign in to most services without a password
Google just released Chrome 67 for desktop, as spotted by ZDNet. This version of Chrome will allow password-free sign-ins for most websites, meaning you can avoid hunting through a password manager for specific credentials.
Password-free sign-ins come from the Web Authentication standard, which was launched in March by the FIDO Alliance and the W3C. It lets you sign in to any virtually any online service through unique credentials that you don't have to memorize, such as fingerprint readers, USB keys like YubiKeys, etc. The standard is also meant to make it less likely a bad actor can obtain your most commonly used passwords by making it easier to give each service different login credentials.
Mozilla's Firefox was the first to get the standard, while plans for Chrome and Microsoft Edge to adopt the standard later were hinted at.
Xiaomi announces Mi 8 flagship phone, transparent Explorer Edition, and smaller SE model
Xiaomi has announced its new flagship phone, the Mi 8 — and yes, it’s the company’s first phone with a notch. The Mi 8 has a 6.21-inch OLED screen from Samsung, wrapping around a fairly large notch that houses a 20-megapixel selfie camera.
The phone has a four-way curved glass back panel and an aluminum frame. Inside there’s Qualcomm's high-end Snapdragon 845 processor, and the new 12-megapixel dual camera setup apparently scores 105 on DxOMark, for what that’s worth. Xiaomi also says that this is the first phone ever to use dual-frequency GPS, which is supposed to give more accurate location data.
