The security changes that Microsoft will apply to Outlook starting September 16 seek to implement the Secure Future Initiative, which eliminates access to the server with only the username and password.

According to the software maker, “the light version of the Outlook web application will be removed on August 19 and will no longer support Gmail accounts on Outlook.com on June 30.”

According to David Los, partner group product manager for Outlook, Microsoft will stop supporting Basic Auth, a method by which a user “provides only their username and password to log in to their account.” Consequently, customers with Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Live.com accounts will need to migrate access through “apps that use modern authentication starting September 16.”

The change is based on the implementation of additional backend processes/tokens that are practically imperceptible to users but represent an important new layer of security.

The changes will also be applied to Windows Mail and Calendar users who will be migrated to their new “Outlook for Windows” application, before the end of support for the integrated Windows Mail and Calendar applications later this year.

They have clarified, however, that the new Outlook application for Windows and Mac will continue to be compatible with Gmail accounts.

According to the company, after 2024 customers will need to install or at least have updated versions of a compatible browser to run Outlook.com. In this sense, they indicated that the minimum browser requirements for Outlook.com are Microsoft Edge or Chrome version 79 or later; Firefox version 78 or later; Safari version 16 or later and Opera version 76 or later. As an additional but no less important fact, Microsoft added that it will only support Windows 10 or later and Windows Server 2016 or later to access Outlook.com.

The Spaniards have a new application generated by the company Adresles, specialized in sending packages and that does not require a physical address for deliveries.

Adresles emerged in 2022, in Madrid, with the purpose of facilitating the online shopping process and providing greater efficiency in deliveries, since the buyer can receive the package wherever they decide, once they indicate it in the application.

The name is probably derived from the English word “addressless”, which means precisely “without address”. From the beginning, the company focused on “becoming the first shipping facilitator on the market, allowing packages to be sent without the need for a physical address.”

According to the CEO of Adresles, Mario Íñiguez, they seek to “humanize services” in addition to “offering an exceptional brand experience, eliminating unnecessary barriers in logistics and recovering empathy with customers.”

Using this service is easy for Spaniards. They only need to go to Adresles.com or download the app, register with the phone number or email and in less than a minute they can send their packages with only the recipient’s phone number. “Flexibility is in the hands of the recipient, who decides where and when to receive their shipment.”

This mechanism eliminates the need for checkout, reduces cart abandonment in e-commerce, and makes package reception more flexible.

In a surprising joint decision, Apple and Goldman Sachs canceled their ambitious plans to launch a futures trading app. The news, which was announced on September 19 via CNBC, shook the financial world.

Initially scheduled for release in 2022, the app was hit by growing economic difficulties last year. Rising interest rates and inflationary tensions scared investors away from risky assets, leading to the suspension of the project.

Sources close to the project revealed that the infrastructure was mostly built and ready for launch, in case Apple decides to return to its original plan in the future. It is not yet clear whether the app would have included cryptocurrency futures trading.

The collaboration between Apple and Goldman Sachs to diversify financial offerings to customers in the United States began with the launch of a credit card in 2019. Apple later introduced a “buy now, pay later” feature, allowing users to split your purchases in four equal payments without interest.

In April, the company introduced a savings account backed by Goldman Sachs, offering an attractive 4.15 % annual yield. According to recent reports, user deposits in this savings account exceeded 10 billion dollars. The partnership was not without challenges, however, as Goldman Sachs faced financial difficulties in managing Apple’s credit card, with a high average customer acquisition cost of $350.
