So many people had no clue this Google app for managing photos and videos existed!

Google's Gallery app, previously known as Gallery Go, has over a billion downloads and has been available for six years, yet remains largely unknown to many users, including Pixel device owners. It serves as a simpler, offline alternative to Google Photos, appealing to users with limited storage or unreliable connectivity. A trending Reddit thread revealed users' surprise at the app's existence, with many expressing frustration with Google Photos' complexity. Launched in 2019, the Gallery app was initially aimed at low-end devices and has seen minimal marketing and updates since then.

Microsoft pushes unphishable logins forward with new sign-in options

Microsoft is making passwordless logins the default method for new account sign-ins, promoting passkeys as an alternative to traditional passwords. This initiative is part of a collaboration with Google and Apple under the FIDO Alliance to enhance security and streamline the login process. New users will have passkeys set as their default sign-in method, while existing users will be prompted to switch during their next login. The shift to passkeys aims to address issues related to password management and security vulnerabilities. However, users must install the Microsoft Authenticator app to fully transition to a passwordless experience, as compatibility with other authentication apps is not supported. Without the app, users cannot completely eliminate their login passwords, which may reduce the security benefits of using passkeys.
