Roaming authenticators offer what other passkey solutions can’t – but there are trade-offs

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways Passkeys are more secure than passwords for authenticating with online accounts. Working with passkeys requires an authenticator and other technologies. The roaming authenticator could be the most complicated — and secure — type of authenticator. Let’s face it. When it comes to passwords, we are truly our own worst enemies. Too harsh? I don’t think so. We’re doing everything we can to make it easy for threat actors to inflict their worst — from the exfiltration and distribution of our sensitive information to the emptying of our bank accounts. Given how frequently end-users continue to inadvertently enable these hackers, we’ve practically joined the other side. In fact, research now shows that, despite receiving some thorough and comprehensive cybersecurity training, a whopping 98% of us still end up getting tricked by phishers, smishers, quishers, and other threat actors who attempt to trick us into accidentally divulging our secret passwords. Also: How to prep your company for a passwordless future in 5 steps Realizing that training and education are apparently futile, the tech industry decided on an alternative approach: eliminate passwords altogether. Instead of a login credential that requires us to input (aka “share”) our secret into an app or a website (collectively known as a “relying party”), how about an industry-wide passwordless standard that still involves a secret, but one that never needs to be shared with anyone? Not even legitimate relying parties, let alone the threat actors? In fact, wouldn’t it be great if even we, the end-users, had no idea what that secret was? In a nutshell, that’s the premise of a passkey. The three big ideas behind passkeys are: They cannot be guessed (the way passwords can — and often are). The same passkey cannot be reused across different websites and apps (the way passwords can). You cannot be tricked into divulging your passkeys to malicious actors (the way passwords can). Easy peasy, right? Well, not so fast. Whereas 99% of today’s user ID and password workflows are straightforward to understand, and you don’t need any additional purpose-built technology to complete the process, the same cannot be said for passkeys. With passkeys, as with anything related to cybersecurity, you’ll have to trade some convenience for enhanced security. As I’ve previously explained in great detail, that trade-off is worth it. But included in that trade-off is some complexity that will take getting used to. Behind the scenes with passkeys Each time you create a new passkey or use one to login to a relying party, you’ll be engaging with an assortment of technologies — your device’s hardware, the operating system it’s running, the operating system’s native web browser, the relying party, and the authenticator — designed to interoperate with one another to produce a final and hopefully friction-free user experience. Some of these technologies overlap in a way that blurs the boundaries between them. Also: How passkeys work: The complete guide to your inevitable passwordless future The word “passkey” is actually a nickname for the FIDO Alliance’s FIDO2 credential specification, which itself is essentially a merger of two other open standards: the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3) WebAuthn standard for Web (HTTP)-based passwordless authentication with a relying party and the FIDO Alliance’s Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP). As for the “Authenticator” in “Client-to-Authenticator Protocol,” the WebAuthn makes a distinction between three different types of authenticators: platform, virtual, and roaming. The subject of this fourth and final part of ZDNET’s series on passkey authenticator technologies is the roaming authenticator. Limitations of a roaming authenticator As its name implies, a roaming authenticator is a physical device, such as a USB stick (commonly referred to as a security key), that can be carried in your pocket. Yubico’s YubiKeys and Google’s Titan are two common examples of roaming authenticators. However, roaming authenticators can come in the form of other devices, including smartphones and smart cards. Currently, when you use a specific roaming authenticator to support a passkey registration ceremony for a given relying party, the passkey is created and stored in encrypted form on the roaming authenticator in such a way that it cannot be decoupled from the physical device. For this reason, passkeys created with roaming authenticators are considered “device-bound.” In other words, unlike Apple’s iCloud Keychain, the password manager in Google Chrome, and most virtual password managers, a passkey that’s created and stored on a roaming authenticator is also a non-syncable passkey. It cannot be extricated from the underlying hardware, synchronized to a cloud, and from there synced to the user’s other devices. Also: The best security keys: Expert tested This limitation of roaming authenticators also reflects the current state of affairs with Windows Hello, where users have the option to create a passkey bound to the underlying Windows system. In such a case, the resulting passkey is cryptographically bound to the system’s security hardware, also known as its Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Every modern system has a cryptographically unique TPM that serves as a hardware-based root of trust to which passkeys and other secrets can be inextricably tied. With that in mind, a roaming authenticator can, in some ways, be thought of as a roaming root of trust; it’s essentially a portable TPM. Whereas a passkey that’s tied to a TPM hardwired into a computer or mobile device’s circuitry can never be divorced from the device, a passkey that’s saved to a roaming authenticator is still cryptographically tied to a hardware-based root of trust but can then be shared across multiple devices to which the roaming authenticator can be connected. For example, a passkey saved to a USB-based YubiKey can be used in support of a passkey-based authentication ceremony on any device into which that YubiKey can be inserted (e. g., a desktop computer, smartphone, tablet, or gaming console). The syncable passkey The chief benefit of this approach is that you receive the multi-device benefits of a software-based, syncable passkey without the passkey being saved anywhere except in the roaming authenticator itself. It’s not saved to any of your computing devices, nor does it pass through any online clouds in order to be synchronized to and used from your other devices. Instead of syncing a passkey through the cloud, you simply connect the roaming authenticator to whichever device needs it for an authentication ceremony with a relying party. However, roaming authenticators differ significantly from their platform and virtual counterparts in that they are not packaged with any password management capabilities. You cannot save a user ID or password to a roaming authenticator in the same way that a passkey can be saved to one. This presents a bit of a conundrum because password managers still come in handy for their non-passkey-related capabilities, such as creating unique, complex passwords for each relying party and then autofilling them into login forms when necessary. If your credential management strategy involves both a password manager and a roaming authenticator, you’ll basically end up with two authenticators — one virtual (as an integral part of the password manager) and the other roaming, which in turn will require you to decide and then remember which authenticator to use for which relying party. Also: Syncable vs. non-syncable passkeys: Are roaming authenticators the best of both worlds? Fortunately, there is one clear use case where it makes perfect sense to have a roaming authenticator in addition to a platform or virtual authenticator. As described in this report about a recent partnership between Dashlane and Yubico, password managers involve a bit of a paradox: If you need to be logged into your password manager in order to login to everything else, then how do you login to your password manager? The best strategy is to do so with a roaming authenticator. After all, your password manager holds the keys to your entire kingdom. The idea of a hacker breaking into your password manager should strike a healthy amount of fear into anybody’s heart. But when the only way to authenticate with your password manager is with something you physically possess — like a roaming authenticator — then there’s no way for a malicious hacker to socially engineer you for the credentials to your password manager. Perhaps the most important point of that Dashlane news is how you can completely eliminate the user ID and password as a means of logging in to your Dashlane account. But once you follow this path, the next complication arises. Here’s the wrinkle: For those relying parties where your only matching passkeys are the passkeys on your roaming authenticator, you’ll need a second roaming authenticator on which to store your backup passkeys. A third roaming authenticator — a backup to the backup — wouldn’t hurt either. Unlike user IDs and passwords, you should be able to create multiple passkeys — each of them unique from the others — for each relying party that supports passkeys. If you have three roaming authenticators, you’ll want to register three separate passkeys for each relying party (one unique passkey per roaming authenticator). Also: What if your passkey device is stolen? How to manage risk in our passwordless future If you really think about it, the main idea behind passkeys is to get rid of passwords. Once a relying party eliminates the option to authenticate with a user ID and password, you have to be very careful not to lose your passkey (and a roaming authenticator is very easy to lose). Some relying parties, like GitHub, do not offer account recovery schemes for accounts secured by a passkey — and rightfully so. If you’re a relying party and one of your users has chosen to secure an account on your systems with a passkey, you have to assume they did it for a reason, so that there’s no other way to login.

Michael Bibi makes large donation to Royal Marsden Hospital

Over two years ago, Michael Bibi revealed his cancer diagnosis, and the global music community came together to support his journey. Fortunately, he came out with a positive diagnosis and is now giving back to the institution that helped cure him. When Michael Bibi declared himself cancer-free and returned to the stage, it was an amazing and cathartic experience for the producer and fans alike. His strength and determination shone through, and he used his platform to curate his One Life events, raising money for cancer research and care. Now two years removed from that harrowing ordeal, Bibi continues to recognize the staff and hospital that treated him throughout his cancer journey. In celebration of the two-year mark, he returned to Royal Marsden Hospital and provided a sizeable donation to the hospital. During his visit, he was scanned again and remains cancer-free. He also met with the staff there and delivered a check for nearly £114, 000 to the organization. His continued devotion to the hospital is a beautiful development from what began as a terrifying diagnosis. It is great to see Michael Bibi continue to perform on stages around the world and raise awareness and funds for cancer research and treatment.

Where to find Tusk Thumpers on the Plains of Eidolon – Warframe

The Tusk Thumpin’ Nightwave challenge will send Warframe players to the Plain of Eidolon on the hunt for Tusk Thumpers. If you have never hunted these metal monstrosities before, it can be a little awkward, but this guide will tell you everything you need to know. Where to find Tusk Thumpers on the Plains of Eidolon Tusk Thumpers will randomly spawn across a range of locations while players are out on the Plains of Eidolon. You can see all the potential spawn locations marked above. If you have a means of traveling quickly around the map, such as an Archwing, K-Drive, or Atomicycle, then quickly visiting all the spots seems like a good idea, but it won’t always guarantee that a Tusk Thumper will appear. I have found the most likely places to find them near Er-Phyrah’s Vigil, the Twin Horns, Seaside Ruin, Hillside Ruin, and Hek’s Stilleto. I suggest checking there in a circuit twice, then resetting the Plains to reload the map and the spawns. How to destroy a Tusk Thumper Killing a Tusk Thumper is not easy, especially if you are a newer player. Make sure you’re playing lower-level missions to get the easier variants of his vehicle to spawn. When you find one, shoot the plates off the knees on all four legs to be able to damage it. Most of the vehicle is immune to damage, but the weak spots under those plates will take damage. For damage, you will want to mod for Impact and Corrosive, and it is possible to strip the armor from the Tusk Thumper by using things like Pillage or a Shattering Impact gunblade.

EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood’s New Nastiest Divorce Set to Turn Ultra-Ugly With A-List Actor Poised to Unleash ‘Grim Truths’ About Marriage to Feisty Singer

Nov. 8 2025, Published 12:00 p.m. ET Lily Allen’s searing new album may have reignited her career – but insiders tell RadarOnline.com it could also trigger an ugly public feud with her ex-husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, who is said to be preparing to “set the record straight” about their marriage. The 40-year-old singer’s record West End Girl – hailed as a “stunning divorce album” – lays bare her four-year marriage to Harbour, 50, with brutal lyrics hinting at infidelity, betrayal and emotional manipulation. Harbour Ready to Speak Out While Allen insists the songs blend fiction and reality, those close to the couple say Harbour feels humiliated and is now ready to “fight back” and “give as good as he’s got from Lily.” A source close to the actor said: “David’s had enough. He’s kept quiet while everyone labels him the bad guy, but that silence won’t last forever. Those around him say he’s ready to speak out – and what he has to share could completely rewrite the story of their marriage. It could come in the form of a tell-all interview or even a book, and Lily needs to watch out.” Another insider added: “Lily’s inner circle think she might be pushing her luck. The album’s been a massive hit, but if David decides to hit back with his side, the consequences could be explosive. He feels he’s been painted as the villain – and he’s gearing up to clear his name.” Songs Stir Controversy The controversy has erupted after Allen released West End Girl last week, her first album in seven years, featuring songs that many listeners interpreted as direct attacks on Harbour. On Madeline, she sings about discovering messages from another woman, accusing her husband of keeping their alleged affair confined to “hotel rooms” and “out of the open.” Allen later clarified “Madeline” is a “fictional character,” but costume designer Natalie Tippett, 34, has since identified herself as the inspiration for the song, saying it was “a little bit scary” to see her life reflected in the lyrics. Allen Maintains Perspective In interviews, Allen has insisted she no longer feels confused or angry. When asked if her new album is a “revenge” record, Lily said: “It isn’t. I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now. We all go through breakups and it’s always f—— brutal. But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it. “That’s what’s fun about this record – it’s viscerally like going through the motions. At the time, I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge. It’s not a cruel album. I don’t feel like I’m being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.” Harbour Blindsided by Album But sources say Harbour was blindsided by the release. One Hollywood insider said: “David was aware Lily was writing about their split, but he didn’t expect it to be this personal – or for people to think every word was aimed at him. He’s been furious ever since, and now he’s warning friends that if she keeps pushing, he’ll share things that could seriously damage her image.” Allen and Harbour split last year after she accused the actor of having multiple affairs, including a three-year relationship with Tippett. Despite the bitter tone of the singer’s new record, Harbour was recently spotted with Allen’s daughters from her previous marriage – Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 12 – at a theme park in Orlando, Florida, suggesting a fragile truce may exist behind the scenes. But the tension between them is palpable. Another source said: “They’re doing their best to stay polite for the kids’ sake, but tensions are running high. David’s friends say he’s finished keeping quiet – and if he decides to speak, it could completely shatter the picture Lily’s painted with this record.” West End Girl has already topped the UK iTunes charts and been streamed more than eight million times on Spotify. But those close to Allen say that with Harbour “poised to speak his truth,” the real drama of Hollywood’s latest nastiest divorce may be yet to come.

EXCLUSIVE: Huge Music Icon Sparks ‘Death’s Door’ Fears by Axing Shows After Threat — As He Battles ‘Extreme Exhaustion and PTSD’

Nov. 7 2025, Updated 7:05 p.m. ET Morrissey has sparked serious concern among fans after canceling his entire South American tour, with insiders telling RadarOnline.com the former Smiths frontman could be “at death’s door” as he battles extreme exhaustion and PTSD from a death threat made against him earlier this year. The 66-year-old singer had been due to play a string of concerts across Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Santiago, Lima, and Bogotá between November 8 and November 22 as part of his Nude tour. Shows Abruptly Canceled Due to Exhaustion But venues abruptly announced this week the shows had been called off, citing exhaustion. Bosses at Argentina’s Movistar Arena told fans: “We inform the public that, due to extreme exhaustion of the artist, Morrissey’s tour of Latin America will not take place, including the show scheduled for November 8th at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires.” A source close to the tour said: “Morrissey’s been working himself into the ground. He’s completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. Those around him were really scared – pulling the plug on the shows was probably the only way to stop things from getting worse, as there were worries he was at death’s door if he didn’t take time out for himself.” Previous Cancellations and Threats The cancellations follow two scrapped performances in Mexico City and Zapopan last week, also blamed on exhaustion. Promoters OCESA confirmed both shows had been pulled just hours before he was due to take the stage. “We are informing the public in Mexico City and Guadalajara that, due to the artist’s extreme exhaustion, Morrissey’s concerts… have been cancelled,” they said in a statement. It’s the latest in a series of health and safety crises for the How Soon Is Now? hitmaker. In September, Morrissey abruptly canceled two US dates in Connecticut and Boston after a “credible threat” was made against his life. A statement shared on his official Facebook account read: “In recent days, there has been a credible threat on Morrissey’s life. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of both the artist and audience, tonight’s engagement at Foxwoods has been cancelled.” Ongoing Strain and Mental Toll Police later confirmed a 26-year-old man from Ottawa had been arrested and charged with making threats toward the singer on social media. The man has since been released on bail under strict conditions, but sources say the ordeal deeply affected Morrissey. “He’s been on edge ever since the threat,” said a friend of the musician. “It really rattled him. Even during the Ottawa show that followed, you could tell his confidence had been shaken – he just didn’t seem like himself.” In October, he was also forced to scrap shows in Turkey after backlash over his support for Israel, while over the summer he canceled a Stockholm concert, claiming he had “zero music industry support.” Writing on his official site Morrissey Central, he said: “We pray to God that someone, somewhere can help us reach Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark… where we have thousands upon thousands of friends, yet absolutely zero music industry support.” Exhaustion, Hospitalization and Breaking Point A music industry insider said: “Morrissey’s at a breaking point. The nonstop touring, the stress, the backlash – it’s worn him down. He keeps pushing forward, but it’s obvious his body and mind can’t take much more.” Morrissey was also recently hospitalized with a severe sinus infection, forcing the cancellation of several California dates. “People don’t realize how much he’s given over the years,” said a longtime collaborator. “He’s in his sixties now, still touring nonstop and doing it mostly on his own. At this point, he’s running purely on determination and whatever energy he has left.”

How to brine a turkey: Recipes, times How to brine a turkey Brining is similar to marinating, but is primarily focused on moistening the meat as opposed to adding flavor. Brining your turkey prior to cooking will help ensure you end up with a deliciously moist and flavor-packed turkey for your next gathering. Brining Steps The first step in the process is selecting your brine recipe. Savory Turkey Brine made with Kikkoman Soy Sauce is a simple and versatile choice that works for any occasion. Once you’ve selected your brine you’ll need to: Purchase a fresh turkey to eliminate the need to thaw, or completely thaw a frozen turkey. The night before roasting, remove the giblets and turkey neck. Rinse the turkey inside and out. Prepare your brine. Be sure to mix ingredients until all of the salt is dissolved. If your brine is heated, be sure to cool it to room temperature before brining.
