True Key – Never forget a password again

True Key – Never forget a password again

True Key is revolutionizing password protection by allowing anyone to use biometric data (fingerprints, facial scans) to log in without the need to remember every password. True Key was developed by Intel Security and comes in two different options: A free option that allows you to manage up to 15 passwords or a paid subscription of $19.99/year, that allows you to manage an unlimited number of passwords (actually up to 2,000). Both pricing options come with the full set of features and are compatible with Windows, OS and Android operating systems and Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox when it comes to the browsers (however some of the features differ between operating systems and browsers).


While face recognition and finger print scan are two of the options for using True Key, if you are not comfortable with using your biometric information, you can choose to use Email verification or Master Password verification. Additionally, if you are interested in greater security, you can opt for having multiple security factors required for log in. Once you set up your account, password management becomes automatic and True Key even syncs it between your devices.
True Key explained

Worried about the security of keeping all of your passwords managed by True Key? Do not worry because your passwords will be scrambled using AES 256 encryption, which is one of the strongest algorithms available. Your privacy will also be protected and your data will never be sold or shared. And the best part is your ability to add more sign-in factors, if you would like to make your login even safer than the standard multi-factor authentication using two different security factors.

VLOOKUP - Excel Function Everyone Should Know

Image
I usually post on this blog about different technologies, most of them web-based. It occurred to me however, that perhaps people would like to learn some cool functions they can use with Microsoft Excel. VLOOKUP is one of those Excel functions that can be sometimes overlooked but perhaps everyone should know about because it can save you a lot of time and can be very powerful when dealing with large data sets. What exactly is VLOOKUP? Basically, VLOOKUP lets you  search for specific information  in your spreadsheet. For example, if you have a list of players for a particular sports team and some basic information about them, you could search for the name of someone based on their number.
