<!–> Weiquan Lin/Getty Images Like almost every tech company on the planet, Opera dove into the AI trend some time ago. And although AI is a divisive subject, if the tech giants have their way, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. While there are certain avenues that I believe AI should be closed to (such as […] More

Kingston IronKey D500S. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Carrying around unencrypted data on flash drives is asking for trouble. Losing a flash drive is bad enough, but having that data fall into the wrong hands could be an absolute disaster. Also: Worried about iPhone 12 radiation? Here’s what you need to know It therefore makes sense to not only […] More
<!–> Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images I’ve written a lot about password management during the past few years. Indeed, when people ask me what kind of security software they should use, my answer always starts with: “Find a good password manager and use it.” When I have those discussions IRL, I consistently hear the same questions and […] More
<!–> NurPhoto/Getty Images MacOS is not my go-to platform. For that, I use Linux. However, when I need to mobilize my day (which actually means to go write in another room in the house), I turn to my MacBook Pro. Or, if I’m editing videos, I stand before my iMac and have at it. On […] More

Google is expected to add to its desktop browser a “Read Aloud” option similar to the one offered in Microsoft Edge. With […] More
SSO with trusted devices allows you to authenticate, using SSO, to decrypt your vault using an encryption key stored on a device. Effectively, you could store the encryption key on your phone, which would allow you to unlock the desktop or web version of Bitwarden with your phone. That way, instead of having to type a master password (which someone could either view or intercept), you unlock your phone and tap the request to authenticate, which unlocks your vault (wherever you are viewing it).Now, with passwordless SSO, users are able to work with trusted devices, even on a Bitwarden enterprise account, thereby making it faster and more secure.Also: How to enable Bitwarden biometric unlock (and why you should)This, of course, doesn’t mean you’ll be limited only to SSO with trusted devices, as Bitwarden will still allow login with a master password or biometrics. But for enterprise customers, SSO with trusted devices is a far more efficient, secure, and scalable method of unlocking vaults.The new SSO option only works with enterprise organizations (for both Bitwarden Password Manager and Bitwarden Secrets Manager) and admins must enable the Login with SSO function. Once that has been enabled, users can turn on SSO with trusted devices from within the app. Of course, if you’ve never used SSO, you’ll want to visit the Bitwarden help center to find out how.Bitwarden also plans to roll out support for SSO with trusted devices for Firefox soon.
