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
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.

<!–> Aleksandra Malysheva/Getty Images There needs to be clarity around how exactly generative artificial intelligence (AI) will be charged, as market players rush to push out their offerings and businesses look to avoid bill shock. Transparency around the usage and commercial model is something organizations are asking for, so they can avoid escalating hidden costs, […] More
<!–> SEAN GLADWELL/Getty Images If you’re an IT pro or a serious PC hobbyist, computers are as logical as Mr. Spock. If you’re a human being without a technical background, the average Windows error message might as well be written in Klingon. For that latter audience, computer security often devolves into magical thinking. That’s unfortunate […] More

Describing it as “Enhanced ad privacy,” the new policy essentially lets websites take a user’s Chrome browser history and serve related ads.
