Whenever something new that can help protect your security pops up, you can count on me to make sure you know about it. Good news. Amazon just got on board the passkey train. Passkeys replace your (probably not that strong) password with something no one can hack: Your fingerprint or face ID.

A weak password brings all the hackers to the yard … and your Amazon cart, so this is a welcome addition to our cybersecurity arsenal. I’m not gonna lie, there are a few steps involved to get ‘er done — but follow the guide below and you’ll be up and running in no time.

On-time last-minute Christmas gift ideas https://www.komando.com/amazon/on-time-last-minute-christmas-gifts/898997/ Tue, 19 Dec 2023 23:00:00 +0000 https://www.komando.com/?p=898997

This morning, I realized that I had totally forgotten about three people. Have you ever done that? The good news is you’re not relegated to gift cards just yet. I found a bunch of nice gifts that should arrive before Christmas.

Pro Tips: Sometimes, changing the color or size will show you different delivery dates. And I thought this was strange. Today, I wanted to buy two of one thing (I can’t say what it is cause I know they get my newsletter!). The delivery date was after Christmas. So I changed the quantity to one and it will be here tomorrow. Then I ordered another to be delivered tomorrow. Sweet!
