I don't know what Windows does because I haven't used Windows in this new millennia, but I assume they got password management built into Windows, don't they? Let's Google that real quick while you guys talk.

There's an article from The Verge in 2020 about Microsoft's new password manager that works across Edge, Chrome, and mobile devices called Microsoft Authenticator. And so this was coming out then. This is an app that you would install on your iOS or Android device, and you would cross that chasm basically syncing with your Windows-based Edge browser.

I think it's actually not Windows-level password management. I think it's inside of Edge, which seems like a weird silo. And that could be wrong. That could be outdated. But there are people obviously trying to tackle that particular cross-platform thing, at least from the Microsoft side.

I don't think Apple has any interest in tackling that, as they've historically had no interest in those kind of things, which is a shame. And obviously, and Google with Chrome. I don't know. I think that there are options for everybody. And I think that there are probably free options for everybody.

Um, it's different than less encrypt because it's more of an end user concern than it is a server operator concern, right? Like all of us nerds got our free certs and upgraded our stuff to HTTPS and they made that palatable and free and it's off and they made the case for why you should do it. And that worked.

But when we talk about end users around the world, varying levels of technical expertise, it's just a much taller order. Yeah. But I do think that Apple and Android have not solved it, but provided something, a baseline for a lot of people.

I don't think Microsoft is investing in Windows like they used to. I think they're investing in Azure and cloud and AI and all these other things that have like up into the right opportunities. And Windows is just kind of like last millennia's thing. Like it's just there. I don't know how they get away with that.
