Microsoft has announced that it has now added the Web Authentication specification in Microsoft Edge. This will enable more secure user experiences which eliminate the need for passwords and adds support for safer access control methods such as biometrics. It will enable Edge users to sign in with their face, fingerprint, a PIN or portable FIDO2 devices.
Remembering passwords for the countless websites and services we frequent daily can be troublesome. Passwords are difficult to remember and are insecure since they’re vulnerable to phishing and cracking. Not to mention the fact that many users make the mistake of using the same password for all of their accounts.
Build 17723 brings Web Authentication support to Microsoft Edge. The company says that its implementation provides “the most complete support for Web Authentication” to date. With Windows Hello, users will be able to authenticate without a password on any Windows 10 device through face and fingerprint recognition. A PIN number may also be used to sign into websites.
External FIDO2 security keys can also be used to authenticate with a removable device in addition to the biometrics and PIN. There’s even support for FIDO U2F devices in case users want this functionality for websites that have yet to move to a completely passwordless model.

Don’t like boring old alarm sounds? Google’s Clock app now offers the ability to wake up to your favorite music on Spotify. The app lets users swap the conventional alarm sounds with their favorite tracks. They will require the latest versions of both the Spotify and Clock apps to take advantage of this feature.
Once you have the latest versions of the Spotify and Clock apps on your device, you can easily set up alarms with the perfect wake up music. This feature is available to both Free and Premium Spotify users.
A new Spotify tab has been added to the Alarm sound menu in the Google Clock apps. It shows the recently played and selected tracks in addition to curated playlists that serve as the perfect soundtrack to mornings.
For alarms, you can browse from the music that you have recently played on the service or select from Spotify’s curated morning playlists. It’s even possible to search for a specific track which will drum you into the new morning. You’ll get the option to continue listening to music after you turn off the alarm.
It’s unclear why Google didn’t provide this feature by integrating it with YouTube Music which is its own music streaming platform. Perhaps Google is going by the sheer popularity of Spotify to make sure that people actually use this feature.
