Microsoft writes:
"For example, if you have a password and “one time code” set up on your account, we’ll prompt you to sign in with your one time code instead of your password. After you’re signed in, you’ll be prompted to enroll a passkey."
I don't understand this. Why would Microsoft remove the password requirement and rely solely on a 1-time code? And what happens if the user decides not to use a passkey?
#Windows #RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. #Microsoft is OK with that.

Trump officials, they're just like us!*
*put off verifying their Signal PIN
Reuters got a photo of Mike Waltz checking Signal in a cabinet meeting and hoo boy, that entire government is running on it

I'm looking forward to being at #CYBERUK25 next week. Lots of interesting looking sessions and I'm sure it will be great to catch up with a lot of people too. Who will I see there? 🙂
I should also note that I have availability for writing news, features and analysis from the show. I already have several ideas and proposals about what to potentially write about, so if you're looking for editorial from one of the premier cybersecurity events in the calendar, please do get in touch! ✍
(Especially because I'm discovering that going as free agent means the costs of travel and accommodation are all coming out my own pocket! It's why I'm so late to sign up, but I couldn't feel FOMO twice in two weeks. So an opportunity to make that money back would be most welcome. 😅 )
