1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,733
Speaker 1: from news Talks at be.

3
00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:15,973
Speaker 2: Our texpert is here with details on a big change

4
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:19,013
Speaker 2: coming to one of the world's most popular social media platforms.

5
00:00:19,093 --> 00:00:22,133
Speaker 2: Meta is changing the way that you log into your account.

6
00:00:22,733 --> 00:00:25,093
Speaker 2: Or Stenhouse is our text bit he's got the details.

7
00:00:25,173 --> 00:00:25,653
Speaker 2: Caut deport.

8
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:29,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about changing, Jack, I think, and more about adding.

9
00:00:30,053 --> 00:00:33,893
Speaker 3: I would say, because that adding something called past key support.

10
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:36,373
Speaker 3: And you're thinking, what on earth is a past key?

11
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:38,933
Speaker 3: And is a really good reason why you should care

12
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:43,213
Speaker 3: about this? And it's because it is significantly stronger and

13
00:00:43,253 --> 00:00:47,933
Speaker 3: more secure than a password. Why, right, It's because if

14
00:00:47,973 --> 00:00:50,053
Speaker 3: I try to explain to you a password, what you

15
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:52,973
Speaker 3: do is you just basically over the Internet when you

16
00:00:52,973 --> 00:00:54,773
Speaker 3: go to a website, you just yell out what you

17
00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:56,893
Speaker 3: use a name and your password is right. It doesn't

18
00:00:57,013 --> 00:01:00,893
Speaker 3: check whether or not it is a legitimate website a

19
00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:04,093
Speaker 3: fake website. You're like, here's my user name, here's my password.

20
00:01:04,213 --> 00:01:07,253
Speaker 3: Try it and it tries it ever gets it right.

21
00:01:07,413 --> 00:01:10,013
Speaker 3: You get in it's wrong, you don't. The problem is

22
00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:12,293
Speaker 3: if you do go to like a malicious website and

23
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:14,653
Speaker 3: you put your real credentials and they then have your

24
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:18,333
Speaker 3: real credentials. So that is a real problem. Passwords can

25
00:01:18,373 --> 00:01:20,373
Speaker 3: be stolen, they can be guessed, they can be leaked.

26
00:01:20,693 --> 00:01:23,253
Speaker 3: So what is better than that, Well, that's this past

27
00:01:23,293 --> 00:01:26,493
Speaker 3: key thing, right, And more and more websites and apps

28
00:01:26,493 --> 00:01:28,573
Speaker 3: are starting to roll out these past keys, and for

29
00:01:28,613 --> 00:01:32,893
Speaker 3: good reason, because it is way more sophisticated. Why because

30
00:01:33,173 --> 00:01:36,453
Speaker 3: think of it more like a handshake, and you verified

31
00:01:36,573 --> 00:01:40,973
Speaker 3: both parties before you actually hand over that information. So

32
00:01:41,413 --> 00:01:44,933
Speaker 3: a past key, instead of you giving the information, it

33
00:01:45,093 --> 00:01:47,813
Speaker 3: first gives you and your device some information that says

34
00:01:48,573 --> 00:01:52,173
Speaker 3: I am Facebook or I am the Herold website, for example,

35
00:01:52,533 --> 00:01:55,333
Speaker 3: and your password manager then goes, okay, cool, I know

36
00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:57,773
Speaker 3: who you are. I've got a credential that we've already

37
00:01:58,133 --> 00:02:00,613
Speaker 3: exchanged in the past when you signed up. I'm going

38
00:02:00,693 --> 00:02:03,333
Speaker 3: to give you an encrypted special version of that back

39
00:02:03,973 --> 00:02:07,373
Speaker 3: and hey, Christo, that me that you can log in.

40
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:09,733
Speaker 3: And it means that if anyone was to get into

41
00:02:09,733 --> 00:02:12,693
Speaker 3: your password manager and see this list of gobble you

42
00:02:12,773 --> 00:02:15,493
Speaker 3: goog they can't do a whole lot with it. And

43
00:02:15,533 --> 00:02:18,093
Speaker 3: if you go to a fake website, your passkey isn't

44
00:02:18,133 --> 00:02:20,973
Speaker 3: going to actually activate because it's not the real website.

45
00:02:20,973 --> 00:02:23,133
Speaker 3: And that special handshake hasn't taken place.

46
00:02:23,493 --> 00:02:26,093
Speaker 2: And so do you have to memorize a code or

47
00:02:26,093 --> 00:02:28,933
Speaker 2: a password you would with a regular password.

48
00:02:29,213 --> 00:02:31,493
Speaker 3: No, So what you do so it relies on your

49
00:02:31,613 --> 00:02:35,333
Speaker 3: device biometrics, right, So that means that it gets stored

50
00:02:35,373 --> 00:02:37,693
Speaker 3: on your device, It gets stored in your password manager.

51
00:02:37,733 --> 00:02:39,813
Speaker 3: So as long as you can get into that thing,

52
00:02:40,213 --> 00:02:42,173
Speaker 3: you're good. So if it's your iPhone or you're Android,

53
00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:45,413
Speaker 3: it might be your face or your fingerprint. If it's

54
00:02:45,453 --> 00:02:48,853
Speaker 3: a computer, it may be a password. But once you're

55
00:02:48,933 --> 00:02:51,533
Speaker 3: into that and it can do the handshaky bit, you're good.

56
00:02:51,573 --> 00:02:54,173
Speaker 3: You don't have to remember because it's long, it's really long.

57
00:02:54,813 --> 00:02:56,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that makes a lot of sense. Actually,

58
00:02:57,013 --> 00:02:59,373
Speaker 2: I've got one I think that I use at the moment.

59
00:02:59,373 --> 00:03:01,853
Speaker 2: I think the New Zealand's got a pass key, and

60
00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:03,693
Speaker 2: I found it a little bit confusing at first, like

61
00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:06,893
Speaker 2: a distinguishing between a pass code and asky or a

62
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:09,413
Speaker 2: past word in a pass key. But that makes sense

63
00:03:09,413 --> 00:03:13,213
Speaker 2: and anything obviously that makes different accounts more secure has

64
00:03:13,253 --> 00:03:16,213
Speaker 2: got to be valuable. Hey, speaking of Facebook, metas So,

65
00:03:16,293 --> 00:03:19,013
Speaker 2: the company that owns Facebook, is teaming up with Oakley

66
00:03:19,253 --> 00:03:22,693
Speaker 2: the sunglasses designers for a new collab.

67
00:03:23,653 --> 00:03:27,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, they collabing on their smart glasses. They really want

68
00:03:27,253 --> 00:03:29,373
Speaker 3: these to be a thing. They are not going anywhere.

69
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:34,893
Speaker 3: They have put out five new styles with Oakley and

70
00:03:34,933 --> 00:03:36,853
Speaker 3: I guess they try to appeal to more people with

71
00:03:36,933 --> 00:03:39,493
Speaker 3: some new designs and they've got some new flash specs

72
00:03:39,533 --> 00:03:44,053
Speaker 3: to Jack. These glasses have a three K front facing camera,

73
00:03:44,133 --> 00:03:48,133
Speaker 3: so you can record video in three K. That's nuts.

74
00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:51,413
Speaker 3: It's got speakers that kind of sit over your ear

75
00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:54,493
Speaker 3: in a microphone built into it, so if you are

76
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:56,453
Speaker 3: connected to your phone and it's got Internet, you can

77
00:03:56,453 --> 00:03:58,613
Speaker 3: listen to music without putting headphones and it just kind

78
00:03:58,653 --> 00:04:01,693
Speaker 3: of plays it above your ear. It's kind of cool. Actually,

79
00:04:02,253 --> 00:04:04,733
Speaker 3: you can do phone calls, you can even ask meta

80
00:04:04,773 --> 00:04:08,653
Speaker 3: AI questions. But it is a bit spooky that it

81
00:04:08,733 --> 00:04:11,653
Speaker 3: records such high quality straight from the front of the camera.

82
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:14,973
Speaker 3: We may be looking at I don't know, especially.

83
00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:16,453
Speaker 2: With other people might not realize.

84
00:04:16,893 --> 00:04:20,973
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, like going to are you going to take

85
00:04:21,013 --> 00:04:23,093
Speaker 3: your Are you going to take your glasses off when

86
00:04:23,133 --> 00:04:24,413
Speaker 3: you go into a changing room or something?

87
00:04:24,453 --> 00:04:26,533
Speaker 2: I hope so you know, yeah, well oh yeah, I

88
00:04:26,573 --> 00:04:28,773
Speaker 2: hadn't even thought of that. Yeah, that's a very good point. Yeah,

89
00:04:28,813 --> 00:04:30,573
Speaker 2: I mean it's a it's gonna be interesting, right because

90
00:04:30,613 --> 00:04:32,733
Speaker 2: a lot of the big, you know, a big big

91
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:35,413
Speaker 2: tech companies sort of think that the smartphones have been

92
00:04:35,813 --> 00:04:39,253
Speaker 2: iterated to their endpoint or something equivalent to the end points,

93
00:04:39,293 --> 00:04:42,533
Speaker 2: so smartphones can't really improve in their current format as

94
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:44,973
Speaker 2: they are. So they're looking for the next device, and

95
00:04:45,053 --> 00:04:47,613
Speaker 2: a lot of them are putting big bets on wearaballs

96
00:04:47,693 --> 00:04:50,213
Speaker 2: like glasses as being the kind of new smartphone. So

97
00:04:50,293 --> 00:04:52,693
Speaker 2: in ten years time, instead of texting away, will all

98
00:04:52,733 --> 00:04:55,853
Speaker 2: be using our eyes and voices to control things through

99
00:04:55,893 --> 00:04:58,333
Speaker 2: our hopefully well we'll see Hey, thanks so much more,
