Security fences are going back up around the nation’s Capitol. The Capitol Police are asking the National Guard to help with security if needed ahead of a rally planned for Saturday. Authorities are worried the event could be a repeat of Jan. 6. Hundreds are expected at the “Justice for J6” event, organized by Look Ahead America. The group is seeking to release people who were charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol incident. Over 600 were charged, and many are still in jail pending trial, including people who aren’t accused of violence. Similar rallies are also taking place in 17 states.
Microsoft is letting users ditch their passwords, giving them ways to access their accounts without one. This is the latest in combating security breaches. Users can download the Microsoft authenticator app to their smartphone, and then use a security key or a verification code sent to their smartphone or an email address. Another option is “Windows Hello,” which scans the face, iris, or fingerprint.
