One Triton Square joins London’s best-connected buildings with Vorboss 100Gbps connectivity through British Land partnership
No-one likes passwords.
Creating them. Remembering them. Typing them in. Your whole mood can change when an application you’re using suddenly logs you out, and you have to go through login all over again.
It’s frustrating for everyone.
So here’s some very welcome news, courtesy of Microsoft, Apple and Google. The tech giants have joined forces to kill off the password for good.
Over the coming year, they plan to roll out no-password logins across all of their platforms, using a standard set by the FIDO (Fast Identification Online) Alliance. This sets the worldwide standards for passwordless authentication.
That’s a bit of a mouthful… so some people call this a passkey. A lot easier to remember.
A passkey works in a similar way to multi-factor authentication (where you use a separate device to prove it’s really you), but with less effort required. It’s very simple. To login to something, you’ll use your phone to prove it’s really you.
Your computer will use Bluetooth to verify you’re sat nearby. Because Bluetooth only works a short distance, this should stop many phishing scams. Then it’ll send a verification message to your phone. You’ll unlock your phone in the usual way, with your face, fingerprint or PIN.
And that’s it. You’re logged in.
Passkeys rely on something called public key cryptography. When you register with an application or website a key pair is made between the website and your phone.
These are really long numbers that are connected in some way. But you’ll never see them and you certainly don’t have to remember them. Your phone verifies the pair when you unlock it in the normal way.
And you don’t have to worry about losing your phone. It’s not enough to just have your device… someone has to be able to unlock it as well.
Your passkeys will be backed up in the cloud, so if you get a new device you can simply transfer over your information. In the same way it’s now easy to set up a new phone to be just like your old device.
These passkeys are not only simpler for you, but should keep your data safer.
There is no password for cyber criminals to steal. And your phone needs to be close to your computer to login. It’s not fool proof, but it’s a lot better than the current situation with passwords and multi-factor authentication.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this one.

But we can all agree that having 20 tabs open in your browser at any one time has a negative effect on productivity.
Simply because it takes so much more time to find the web pages and services you need when you’re looking for them.
This might not be a problem for much longer.
If you’re a fan of Microsoft browser Edge, you’ll be interested in a new feature that’s going to debut soon.
Workspaces was originally revealed a year ago, back in April 2021. But since then Microsoft has gone quiet about it. We assumed it was dead in the water.
But a preview build of Edge that’s just come out for developers includes an option to create new Workspaces. So it looks like we could all be seeing the feature rolled out in the months ahead.
Workspaces allows you to group together browser tabs, and open or close groups with a click.
There are a number of ways you might use this. Perhaps to keep work-related and personal information separate. Or even grouping together information relating to different projects.
These groups can be named and colour coded, so it’s easy to find the right information at the right time.
And unless you delete a Workspace, when you close and reopen Edge all your tabs will be there waiting for you.
There’s no release date for this yet. But if you can’t wait to get stuck in, more good news – Google’s Chrome browser already offers a similar feature called tab groups.
A simple right-click lets you group together tabs, label them and colour code them too. You can even reorder them on your tab strip to organise them further.

We’d love to help, just get in touch.
A new update coming soon to Microsoft Edge will give you access to a new and improved password management feature. This will allow you to store all your passwords within your browser automatically, giving you a cost-effective way to avoid password-based cyber-attacks.
However. Although this new feature is more secure than using the same login details across multiple applications, our advice would be to avoid browser-based password managers in your business.
Why?
Because they’re not flexible enough and don’t give enough control to you the boss – especially when a member of staff leaves.
When you use a dedicated password manager, you can remove someone’s access to all their applications at the push of a button. You can also access their login details if you need to.
You still benefit from secure encryption, but it also works across all devices, including different browsers.
A separate password manager is also a lot more secure, which is really important when you have multiple people using your applications, each with their own login details.
And as a bonus, your password manager will generate strong random passwords for you; remember them; and auto complete the login boxes.
That means you’ll have even better protection from brute force attacks, where cyber criminals try to guess your passwords.
If you don’t already use a password manager in your business, it’s about time you did. It’s an extra layer of data security that you really shouldn’t be without.
There are lots of password managers about.
