Microsoft delays Windows 10 Mobile update for older devices to 2016

Microsoft isn’t doing itself any favours with this latest news. The company announced it will be delaying the update for some Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 phones until “early next year.” Originally, Windows 10 Mobile was supposed to roll out this month. For now, you only get access to Windows 10 Mobile if you have the Lumia 950 or 950 XL.

The other bad news is they aren’t even specifying which Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 devices will be getting Windows 10 Mobile update. With its already tiny 1.7 percent market share, according to the latest Gartner figures on the third quarter of 2015, this isn’t helping them out the least.

Google tests out new login that replaces your password for your phone

Google has started limited testing of its new password-free login feature. It made its first appearance when the Marshmallow API was unveiled at Google I/O this year. According to reddit user named Rohit Paul, the new feature would need a compatible device like the Nexus 6P. You have to authorize your phone to log into your account. And then when you sign into your Google account on your computer, you type in your email and then you’ll get a message on your phone to allow the login. If you hit yes, the computer will log into your Google account without you having to input a password. It works similar to how two-factor authentication does except you don’t have to input a code into your PC when you receive a notification on your phone.
