LastPass and Edge
I have a free basic account with LastPass. I usually use the Edge browser.

Passkeys
Recently Microsoft enabled Windows 11 users to use Passkeys as a means of doing away with the tyranny of the password & constant resetting passwords & at the same time improving security of the "logging in" process by using Biometric access to Passkeys.

Why does using a VPN stop sites from loading?
OK to give a bit more detail there I'm specifically talking about nordvpn paid for. Yep, not any free version. Anyway, I'll open Nord, quick connect which always connects me to a UK VPN.

Can you sort your Facebook settings to stop friends seeing posts on groups?
