According to a Windows Insider blog post, Microsoft is currently testing a deeper integration of 1Password’s passkey feature in Windows 11. Passkeys are more secure than passwords, allowing you to log in using a combination of something you have (like a smartphone) and something you are (like your face or fingerprint). Passkeys save you from having to remember lots of unique passwords and provide better protection against hackers. Microsoft is just one of many entities pushing for a passwordless future in favor of passkeys. The 1Password integration is simple. You just have to install 1Password Beta, then enable 1Password as a plugin credential manager via Settings > Passkeys > Advanced options, and also complete user verification with Windows Hello (face, fingerprint, or PIN). Afterwards, you can use 1Password’s passkeys with and through Windows 11. So far, the feature is limited to the preview version Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5670 (KB5060838) in the Dev Channel. It’s unknown when support will be released for all users, or when other password managers will receive similar integration. Read...

Google has released an emergency update for Chrome, fixing a vulnerability in new Chrome versions 138.0.7204.96/97 for Windows, 138.0.7204.92/93 for macOS, and 138.0.7204.96 for Linux. According to Google, this particular vulnerability is already being attacked in the wild. The manufacturers of other Chromium-based browsers should be following suit in the coming days. In the Chrome Releases blog post, Krishna Govind provided the scant details that Google revealed about the zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-6554), which Google classifies as high risk. It’s a classic issue that crops up practically every month: a type mix-up in the V8 JavaScript engine. The discoverer of the vulnerability is also no stranger: Clément Lecigne from Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), who has discovered zero-day vulnerabilities in Chrome several times before. Lecigne discovered the problem on June 25th. Then, on June 26th, Google sent a configuration change to all Chrome installations on the Stable Channel of all platforms to mitigate the problem. The update now available should take care of the rest. A week ago, Google released the new major version of Chrome 138, which addressed 11 security flaws. As a rule, Chrome updates itself automatically when a new version is available. You can manually initiate the update check using the menu and navigating to Help > About Google Chrome. Google also released Chrome for Android 138.0.7204.63 and Chrome for iOS 138.0.7204.119, with the same vulnerabilities fixed in the Android version. Google plans to release Chrome 139 at the end of July. Other Chromium-based browsers The manufacturers of other Chromium-based browsers should now be working to follow suit with their own updates. Microsoft Edge and Brave have already made the switch to Chromium 138 and are at the security level prior to this Chrome update. Vivaldi is still working on finalizing its new version 7.5 with Chromium 138. Although Opera is delivering an update to version 119.0.5497.141, it still only contains the completely outdated Chromium 134. Read...

Sony makes gaming monitors. I know, it’s kind of a shock, right? I had to be reminded of this fact, and I cover this stuff for my job. Maybe part of the reason the company tends to go unnoticed is that those monitors are usually a lot more expensive than the competition. Not today: You can get a Sony OLED gaming monitor with 480Hz of refresh for $714.99. That’s almost $400 off. Granted, that’s still hitting at about average pricing for a 27-inch OLED monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution at the moment. But it’s the speed that’s particularly notable. At 480Hz with a .03ms response time, the Sony Inzone M10S is approximately twice as fast as comparable monitors. It’ll pump out frames so quickly that even a beefy gaming PC will struggle to keep up with it in just about any recent 3D game. In his review for PCWorld, Matt Smith praised the monitor’s speed and image quality, but lamented its lack of USB-C ports (so not a great pairing with a gaming laptop) and high price. At least one of those issues is fixed with a lower price. For the sake of comparison, even LG’s similar 27-inch, 480Hz OLED (which appears to be using the same screen panel) is $140 more expensive on Amazon right now. I’d use the savings to get a nice VESA monitor arm, though the Sony design has an unusually small and unobtrusive base.
