🔐 Encryption is not a loophole

It’s a lifeline

Right now, Congress is considering legislation that could effectively ban encrypted apps by forcing companies to build dangerous backdoors into private communications.

These proposals threaten the security of journalists, whistleblowers, business professionals, and everyday users who depend on end-to-end encryption to communicate safely and confidentially. 💼🛡️

EFF is sounding the alarm. And we all should be too.

🔐 Microsoft Authenticator Users: Major Change Incoming

Microsoft Authenticator is phasing out its password autofill sync feature by July 2025

🚨 Heads up! If you rely on Microsoft Authenticator's password autofill sync to store or auto-fill your passwords, you'll lose access unless you export them NOW.

But instead of just exporting... consider upgrading your security.

💡 We recommend switching to privacy-first open-source alternatives like:
Ente Auth – End-to-end encrypted, sleek UI, cross-device sync.
Aegis Authenticator – PIN-protected, backup-friendly, fully offline.
