Android can now move your passkeys between password managers. Whether it asks for your fingerprint is up to the app you leave

2026-09-15Gadgets

Google has switched on direct transfers of passwords and passkeys between password managers on Android, built on the FIDO Credential Exchange Format and live in Google Password Manager, 1Password, Bitwarden and Dashlane. Apple describes its version as secured by Face ID. Android's developer guide leaves the biometric prompt to the exporting app, and its sample code marks it optional.

The Pentagon's biggest loan yet would not build a data centre. It would build the parts

The Office of Strategic Capital is in talks to lend Fluidstack about 5 billion dollars — roughly six times its previous largest commitment — for manufacturing capacity in data-centre components, not a facility. A defence industrial-base lender now files AI infrastructure alongside rare earths and drone parts.

Three labs shipped offensive-capable cyber models in one week, and every number in the announcements is self-reported

Google says its model beats Anthropic's and OpenAI's. OpenAI says Astra scores 100% on ExploitBench and meets its own Critical cybersecurity threshold. Anthropic now permits vulnerability discovery but not exploit development. Not one of those claims comes with an independent evaluation.

Android 17 will send fake encryption data on your behalf — and that is the clever part

Encrypted Client Hello hides which sites you visit from your ISP and anyone on the network. Android 17 turns it on at platform level, and where a server does not support it, sends convincing fake ECH anyway. That second half matters more than the first: privacy that only some people have is a label, not a protection.

Google is not selling picks and shovels — it is underwriting the miner

2026-08-20AI

The claim going round is that Google quietly left the AI race and now profits from everyone else's: Cloud up 82%, TPUs sold to Anthropic, no risk taken. The growth figure is exactly right. The risk part is not — Google took roughly 20% of an Anthropic data centre and agreed to cover the lease and power if Anthropic defaults.
