In his post, Cohen explained how passkeys work in general and with 1Password. Passkeys take advantage of a security technology called public-key cryptography. As such, every passkey contains two aspects: a private key and a public key.When setting up a 1Password account with a passkey, the private key is kept secure and encrypted and never shared with 1Password itself.

The latest Steam hardware survey has shown that previous Nvidia graphics cards are still very much in vogue when it comes to PC gaming. However, one of the lower-end 3000 series may be getting pushed aside to make room for a GPU that could be, inexplicably, worse. According to a report from Videocardz – which references the Chinese website Board Channels – Nvidia may be replacing its RTX 3050 card in favor of a similar one, but with less memory.

Box Office Odds Favor The Hunger Games Prequel, As Wish Serves Up Another Disappointing Thanksgiving For Disney

That means it was another disappointing holiday for Disney, which used to reign over Thanksgiving with its family-friendly animated offerings, as Wish came in third place at the box office, pulling in just $31.7 million over…

Games are ever in favor with ‘Songbirds and Snakes’

By Jake Coyle | Associated Press Two hours and 37 minutes is pretty long for a “ballad,” but you can’t call it “The Hunger Games: The Three-Cycle Opera of Songbirds and Snakes” now, can you? Concision was never much in favor in the four “Hunger Games” films, which reached a seeming finale with 2015’s “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2.” The intervening years have done nothing to shrink the ambitions of this unapologetically gaudy dystopic series where the brutal deaths of kids are watched over by outrageously styled…

The Director of the Sequel Scrapped in Favor of a Reboot Rues the Day

Ben Wheatley was always going to seize the chance to direct a big budget Hollywood blockbuster when it came his way, but it wasn’t always supposed to be with Jason Statham’s giant shark sequel Meg 2: The Trench, with the filmmaker initially planning to craft the follow-up to Alicia Vikander’s Tomb Raider. The Academy Award winner’s debut as Lara Croft may not have set critics on fire with its artistic merits, but a box office haul of $275 million ensured it was a franchise-in-waiting. However, Wheatley ended up dropping…
