In second spot is 123456789. And you may not be surprised to learn that 12345678 placed third, while password came in fourth. The list was partly built from databases of cracked passwords on the dark web, so they could go back a long time rather than be a reliable indicator of more recent password behavior. Still, it’s a good reminder to take care when managing your own passwords ... |

Urbanista updates its Copenhagen earbuds with a lower price |
The original buds were a solid choice for budget-conscious shoppers, so these will definitely be worth a look, as well |
Urbanista has updated its Copenhagen wireless earbuds with some new features, including Bluetooth multipoint compatibility that lets you connect two devices simultaneously.

Xbox is testing a handheld device, but it’s a long ways off |
An Xbox handheld would enter an increasingly competitive sector alongside devices like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck |

But he added that it’s only at the prototyping stage, suggesting it could be a few years before it makes it to market — if it ever does. Spencer himself also fueled rumors of an Xbox handheld earlier this year when he expressed excitement at his team’s work “around different form factors and different ways to play.” But a roadmap that leaked last year showing Xbox’s plans through 2030 appeared to suggest that fans could be in for a long wait ... |
