Google is moving towards a password-less future as it has started making passkeys the default option for personal Google accounts. The search giant had announced passkeys earlier this year. Passkeys are meant to be a safer alternative to passwords, in addition to being simpler to use and remember. Passkeys will allow users to sign in using a fingerprint, a face scan or a screen lock PIN. Users will soon be asked to create and use passkeys when they sign in to their Google account. Additionally, users will see the “Skip password when possible” option enabled in their account by default. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is a passkey?" comment="subhead" text="What is a passkey?">What is a <keyword id="15250771" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Passkey" source="Orion">passkey</keyword>?</cmsannotation> A passkey is a digital credential – like login username and password. It is used as an authentication mechanism that allows you to login to your passkey-enabled account without entering your password. Google claims that passkeys are 40% faster than entering passwords manually. It also says that the used cryptography technology makes them more secure than passwords. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to login to Google account with passkeys?" comment="subhead" text="How to login to Google account with passkeys?">How to login to Google account with passkeys?</cmsannotation> You will first need to be logged into your Google account on an Android device. Once done, you can then use your Android phone’s authentication methods – like your fingerprint, face scan, or PIN to authenticate your Google account login. Google claims that one of the benefits of passkeys is that users will no longer have to deal with remembering multiple passwords. “We’ve found that one of the most immediate benefits of passkeys is that they spare people the headache of remembering all those numbers and special characters in passwords. They’re also phishing resistant,” Google said in its blogpost. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Passkeys to become more common" comment="subhead" text="Passkeys to become more common">Passkeys to become more common</cmsannotation> In future, Passkeys will start becoming more common and will be used by various apps.

Passkeys may soon replace passwords - everything you need to know

<ul><li>Google accounts now support passkeys for password-free sign-in.</li><li>This means you can access Google-linked accounts such as Gmail and YouTube without a password using passkeys.</li><li>Below, read more to find out how to set up passkeys.</li></ul>Many people dislike passwords because they are difficult to create, remember, store, and use. However, <a href="https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/">Google</a> has introduced a new way of logging into your accounts, eliminating the need for passwords. With passkeys, you can now access your Google accounts by verifying your identity through facial or fingerprint recognition or a PIN code. This feature is available to all Google users starting today. A passkey is a special key that identifies users and their accounts and can be easily and safely shared across different devices. Passkeys are created using the WebAuthn standard and rely on public-key cryptography. A key pair is generated when a user logs in for the first time using passkey technology. One key remains on the user's device and is kept private, while the other key is stored on the service's servers. When the two keys match, the login information is shared. To unlock and share the key, users can use the biometrics or other authentication methods available on their Android phones. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How are passkeys different from passwords?" comment="subhead" text="How are passkeys different from passwords?">How are passkeys different from passwords?</cmsannotation> Passkeys have several advantages that set them apart from traditional passwords. Firstly, they are longer and more secure than passwords, but you don't have to remember them. They are securely stored on your device and matched up with the web server using a handshake protocol, and you can log in using biometrics or similar security measures. Secondly, passkeys are highly resistant to hacking attempts. Your private key is securely stored on your device and cannot be intercepted. The server provides a challenge sequence that only the private key can solve correctly, so even if a public key is hacked, it cannot be used to log in to your account. Thirdly, passkeys are not susceptible to phishing attempts. Giving a passkey to a third party is impossible, so if a phishing attempt tries to get you to log in to a fake web form, it will not work. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Are passkeys a better alternative to passwords?" comment="subhead" text="Are passkeys a better alternative to passwords?">Are passkeys a better alternative to passwords?</cmsannotation> Indeed, the advantages of passkeys make them a significant improvement over passwords in terms of security and ease of use. Once set up, there is very little to worry about. However, passkeys do have their limitations. They rely on authentication devices, so if your phone is stolen, you may need to take more time to log in to services. Additionally, passkeys are more difficult to share with others than traditional passwords, which can be a security benefit but inconvenient when you need to give a password to a colleague or family member. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to set up a Google passkeys" comment="subhead" text="How to set up a Google passkeys">How to set up a <keyword id="17317645" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="google-passkeys" source="Orion">Google passkeys</keyword></cmsannotation> Setting up a Google passkey is quick and easy and can be done from your computer, phone, or tablet. You can also authorize multiple accounts, which means you can access your account from any device. Here are the steps to set up a passkey: <ol><li>Open your web browser on your phone or computer and go to the Google passkey page at g.co/passkeys.</li><li>Enter your Gmail address and password if prompted.</li><li>Once you're logged in, you'll see your automatically generated passkeys.

According to a <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/05/expanding-gmail-security-BIMI.html">blog post</a> by Google, the check marks started appearing on Wednesday and will be visible on both personal and work Gmail accounts. So, what is the significance of the blue check marks in Gmail? Let's break it down. Right now, it's mainly for companies and groups. If you use Google's Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) standard, check marks will appear in your emails. To use BIMI, you must have strong authentication, and your logos must be verified before they can be displayed in Gmail, as per Google's requirements. "Strong email authentication helps users and email security systems identify and stop spam, and also enables senders to leverage their brand trust," Google wrote in its blog post on Wednesday. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why it matters?" comment="subhead" text="Why it matters?">Why it matters?</cmsannotation> Email authentication, when done strongly, has several benefits. It helps users and email security systems recognize and prevents spam. Additionally, it allows senders to make use of their brand's reputation. Also, it enhances trust in the sources of emails and provides readers with a more engaging experience. A strong email authentication system contributes to a healthier email ecosystem that benefits everyone.

In its Q2 2023, the company reported 157.8 million subscribers, compared to 161.8 million in the previous quarter. The key reason behind the decline was Disney+Hotstar, which lost 8 per cent of its subscriber base -- from 57.5 million in Q1 2023 to 52.9 million in Q2. "Disney+Hotstar average monthly revenue per paid subscriber decreased from $0.74 to $0.59 due to lower per-subscriber advertising revenue," the company said in a statement. The drop in the Indian subscribers is mainly because the platform did not retain streaming rights for the Indian Premier Cricket (IPL) League. Overall for the company, the revenues for the quarter and six months grew 13 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively. "We're pleased with our accomplishments this quarter, including the improved financial performance of our streaming business, which reflect the strategic changes we've been making throughout the company to realign Disney for sustained growth and success," said <keyword id="249798" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="robert-iger" source="Orion">Robert Iger</keyword>, CEO, The Walt Disney Company.

<ul><li>Businesses with turnover of over Rs 5 crore will have to generate electronic or e-invoice for B2B transactions with effect from August 1. </li><li>Currently, businesses with turnover of Rs 10 crore and above are required to generate e-invoice for all B2B transactions.</li></ul>New Delhi, May 11 (PTI) Businesses with turnover of over Rs 5 crore will have to generate electronic or e-invoice for B2B transactions with effect from August 1. Currently, businesses with turnover of Rs 10 crore and above are required to generate e-invoice for all B2B transactions. The finance ministry through a notification dated May 10 has notified a reduction in threshold for e-invoicing. Effective August 1, any taxpayer with turnover exceeding Rs 5 crore should raise e-invoices for B2B supplies. <keyword id="3419539" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="deloitte-india-partner" source="Orion">Deloitte India Partner</keyword> Leader <keyword id="17382865" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="indirect-tax-mahesh-jaising" source="Orion">Indirect Tax Mahesh Jaising</keyword> said with this announcement, scope of MSMEs under e-invoicing will be expanded and they will need to implement e-invoicing. "For companies e-invoicing is a boon rather than a bane as suppliers who are e-invoicing compliant result in proper flow of input tax credit and reduce the churn around credit issues," Jaising added. AMRG &amp; Associates Senior Partner <keyword id="2913637" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rajat-mohan" source="Orion">Rajat Mohan</keyword> said phased implementation of e-invoicing has resulted in reduced disruptions, improved compliance and increased revenue. E-invoicing was initially implemented for large companies with turnover of more than Rs 500 crore, and within 3 years the threshold has now been lowered to Rs 5 crore. "Inclusion of MSME sector in the e-invoicing regime would benefit the overall business ecosystem by reducing costs, rationalising errors, ensuring faster invoice processing, and also limiting commercial disputes in the long term," Mohan added. Under <keyword id="6359833" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="goods-and-services-tax" source="Orion">Goods and Services Tax</keyword> (GST) law, e-invoicing for business-to-business (B2B) transactions was made mandatory for companies with turnover of over Rs 500 crore from October 1, 2020, which was then extended to those with turnover of over Rs 100 crore effective January 1, 2021. From April 1, 2021, companies with turnover of over Rs 50 crore were generating B2B e-invoices, and the threshold was brought down to Rs 20 crore beginning April 1, 2022. From October 1, 2022, the threshold was further lowered to Rs 10 crore. EY Tax Partner Saurabh Agarwal said the industry needs to review their vendor masters and ensure that any vendor supplying goods or services and crossing the threshold turnover of Rs 5 crore is necessarily issuing a e-invoice from August 2023 to avoid any dispute with respect to availment of input tax credit (ITC).

A jury gave the verdict on Tuesday in a civil case hinging on an attack in a fitting room in a high-end store decades ago and Trump defaming her by calling her accusations a "hoax". The jury did not accept her claim of rape, but declared him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. E. Jean <keyword id="319153" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="carroll" source="Orion">Carroll</keyword>, 79, brought the case against the front-runner to be the Republican Party's presidential candidate next year, Trump, who she said had raped her decades ago, but was not sure when it happened. In a post on Truth Social media, Trump characteristically called the verdict a "continuing of the greatest witchhunt of all time" and said he would appeal. There was a large crowd of demonstrators outside the courthouse denouncing his treatment of women when the verdict came down. Carroll was a columnist for the Elle magazine at the time she said she was attacked around 1996. Trump is facing a criminal case brought by a local prosecutor in New York accusing him of falsifying business records to cover up payments made to a woman who claimed to have had an affair with him. If convicted in that case, he could be sentenced to prison time, although that would not bar him from running for election under the US Constitution. The first former President to face criminal charges, Trump was arrested and produced in court last month but was released pending the trial that could take place early next year. The latest opinion poll by ABC News and The Washington Post taken before the verdict showed him six percentage points ahead of President Joe Biden. Trump, who is busy campaigning for his presidential run, did not take the witness stand to contest Carroll's case. Several women have accused him of rape and sex abuse, but the thrice-married Trump, who once revelled in the image of a playboy, has not faced criminal charges. A damning piece of evidence introduced against him related to a video of him using an obscenity and saying, "When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything, grab 'em by the (genitals)." During a deposition - testimony and cross-examination outside a court to speed up the trial - he defended the statement saying that "historically that is true" when asked about it by Carroll's lawyer. A video of his statement made during the cross-examination was shown to the jury, a citizens' panel made up of three women and six men, which gave the verdict in less than three hours of deliberations after eight days of the trial. Carroll herself took the stand at the trial as did two other women who said that they had been abused by Trump, one of them while on a plane. "I'm here because Donald Trump raped me," Carroll told the jury and gave a graphic description of Trump abusing her with his fingers before raping her. She said that the encounter took place in the lingerie department of the department store when he approached her on the pretext of trying to find a gift for a woman friend. He banged her head on the wall of a fitting room before the attack, she said. Carroll first made the accusations public while the presidential race was heating up in 2019 in a magazine excerpt ahead of the publication of her book, What do We Need Men For"? in which she wrote about the assault more than two decades after the attack. He was unaffected by the disclosure and he contested the election next year, even as other women made accusations against him. Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina questioned Carroll's credibility, saying that she did not report the attack to the police, didn't remember the day it took place and brought it up decades later. Two friends of Carroll testified that she had told them about the assault around the time it took place. <keyword id="1800165" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="lisa-birnbach" source="Orion">Lisa Birnbach</keyword> said that Carroll told her about the assault minutes after it happened but declined her offer to accompany her to make a police complaint. Trump is caught in a web of legal issues. New York State Attorney General Leitia James has filed a civil case over his and his adult children's business practices. A state prosecutor in Georgia is looking into allegations that Trump interfered in the election results and a federal special counsel is examining if he had a role in the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress by his supoporters. Federal prosecutors are also investigating his handling of classified documents that he took from the White House when he left office.

Its sleek and lightweight design contributes to its overall attractiveness, ensuring that it is comfortable to hold and easy to carry. Also, the rear panel is now made of plastic, not glass, but the frame is made of aluminum. As a result, the smartphone is about 10 grams lighter than the Neo 7, tipping the scales at 182 grams. The device's front comprises a 6.67-inch display with a centrally located hole-punch cutout, providing users an almost bezel-less viewing experience. The phone's rear design is simple yet elegant, with a neatly arranged triple camera array and the Poco logo. The minimalist look on the back enhances the device's overall clean appearance. Although the back is polycarbonate, it still feels sturdy and well-built, albeit less premium than some of its competitors. The volume rocker is on the right side of the device, and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer and a SIM tray can be found at the bottom. Overall, the Poco F5 offers a blend of style and functionality that appeals to many smartphone users. The pattern on the back gives it a distinct identity and its done neatly making the design look high-end and impressive. The POCO F5 boasts a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, making it one of the best displays on the market. According to POCO, the screen can reach a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits. <div type="image" title="Poco F5 5G" msid="100166663" hostid="261" sizebytes="42834" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Poco F5 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display of the Poco F5 is quite impressive and really brings alive the gaming and OTT experience. With a refresh rate of 120Hz, the display feels smooth and has that premium feel to it. I streamed various shows like Office, Modern Family, and others on various OTT apps and the content really looked refined. Even under the direct sunlight, I could use the phone comfortably by turning up the brightness to the maximum level possible. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> When it comes to performance, the Poco F5 5G is a top scorer. The phone is available in only 8+256GB and 12+256 GB storage variants. It debuts Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor in India, which has garnered a lot of excitement around its performance. After using the phone for a few days, I can confidently say that it provides one of the best performance in its price segment. Be it multitasking or running heavy apps and games, the phone doesn’t disappoint. I used it as my primary phone doing daily chores like checking emails, running Slack, Maps on Android Auto, games, camera and music alongside the usual social media scanning and calls. So far, the performance has been doing justice to the price and there are only a few phones in its price range that can pull off everything with such ease. I tested multiple apps on the phone, and it didn't falter even once. While gaming, I was able to switch from one game to another effortlessly without facing any lag. The phone feels incredibly fast right from the moment you unbox it and begin setting it up. The browsing experience is delightful, and there are no hiccups while handling more intense tasks like gaming or running multiple apps simultaneously. Even while gaming or taking pictures in the scorching heat, I did not experience any heating issues with the phone. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Battery &amp; charging" comment="subhead" text="Battery &amp; charging">Battery &amp; charging</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Poco F5 5G" msid="100166696" hostid="261" sizebytes="38818"></div> The Poco F5 is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, which despite not being the largest in its class, delivers reliable performance throughout the day. Its lower-resolution display allows the phone to last a full day for most moderate users, and potentially even longer for those with lighter usage patterns. Even, I felt completely at ease knowing that my phone wouldn't die on me during a long walk or a night out. The Poco F5 boasts 67W wired charging support, allowing the device to fully charge from 0 to 100% in just over an hour and it reached from 0% to 20% in just 5 minutes. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Camera" comment="subhead" text="Camera">Camera</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166729" hostid="261" sizebytes="35512" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Poco F5 camera&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Poco F5 has a triple camera setup consisting of a 64-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. While the inclusion of three cameras is impressive, the macro camera's quality is subpar and adds little value to the device. <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166915" hostid="261" sizebytes="42660" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Shot in macro mode&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> However, the main and ultrawide cameras capture detailed and vibrant images in well-lit environments, but struggle in low-light scenarios. <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166930" hostid="261" sizebytes="278580" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Shot in ultra-wide mode&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The front-facing camera is suitable for selfies and video calls, but also faces challenges in low-light conditions. <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166944" hostid="261" sizebytes="38096" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Shot in 64MP camera&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166957" hostid="261" sizebytes="71080"></div> The phone's video recording capabilities are decent, with the ability to record 4K video at 30 frames per second and 1080p video at 60 frames per second with optical image stabilization. Overall, the Poco F5's camera system is satisfactory for most casual users looking for a mid-range smartphone. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Gaming performance" comment="subhead" text="Gaming performance">Gaming performance</cmsannotation> In these few days of my usage, I tested a variety of games, from the classic Subway Surfers to Call of Duty Mobile, and I was impressed with the overall experience. The speakers were sufficiently loud and produced clear and crisp audio. <div type="image" title="Poco F5" msid="100166755" hostid="261" sizebytes="63218"></div> The phone did not experience any lag while playing these games, and even Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends were playable at the highest graphics settings. Also, despite intense gaming for an hour, the phone did not overheat. During gameplay, I was able to access the Game Turbo menu by swiping right on the top left edge of the screen. This menu provides customization options, such as boosting FPS levels by pressing the 'Boost' button, recording gameplay sessions, adjusting brightness, and setting timers. Furthermore, the battery life was not significantly affected while playing games. After playing for 40 minutes, the battery level decreased by only 12 percent, which is reasonable. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Conclusion" comment="subhead" text="Conclusion">Conclusion</cmsannotation> The POCO F5 excels in three key areas that matter most to gaming enthusiasts: performance, display, battery life, all at an attractive price of ₹29,999. Despite its flaws, such as bloatware, plastic built, low IP rating, and slow charging, the POCO F5 manages to keep them under the radar, thanks to its aggressive pricing strategy. While the phone lacks a premium design but lighter weight gives a better in-hand feel, the iQOO Neo 7 offers a more sophisticated design for those who prioritize aesthetics. Ultimately, the POCO F5 is an excellent choice for anyone seeking ample storage, robust performance, a superb camera, and design. However, if fast charging is your top priority, the iQOO Neo 7 is a better option.
