Microsoft will soon no longer let you use its Authenticator app to store or autofill passwords. Starting in July, you won’t be able to autofill saved passwords using Authenticator, and you’ll have to use Microsoft Edge or another password management solution instead.

Microsoft also plans on deleting your saved payment information in Authenticator this July before erasing passwords in August. Last month, Microsoft Authenticator stopped accepting new passwords as part of plans to consolidate its password autofilling feature within Edge.

Microsoft will automatically sync saved passwords to your account, allowing you to access them in Edge. You can set Edge as your device’s default autofill provider by finding the option in your device’s settings and selecting Edge instead of Authenticator. If you don’t want to use Edge, make sure to export your passwords to another service by August.

Microsoft Authenticator launched as a multifactor authentication solution in 2016, and it added support for password storage in 2020. Though Microsoft Authenticator is ending support for passwords, it will continue to support passkeys, the solution that lets you use your device’s authentication method to sign into accounts, such as a PIN, fingerprint, or face scan.

You can find more information about how to export your passwords or make Edge your default autofilling provider from Microsoft’s website.

Microsoft's new AI diagnostic system achieved 80% accuracy in diagnosing patients compared to 20% for human doctors, while reducing costs by 20%, according to company research published Monday. The MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator queries multiple leading AI models including OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Meta's Llama, and xAI's Grok in what the company describes as a "chain-of-debate style" approach. The system was tested against 304 case studies from the New England Journal of Medicine using Microsoft's Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark, which breaks down each case into step-by-step diagnostic processes that mirror how human physicians work. Microsoft CEO of AI Mustafa Suleyman called the development "a genuine step toward medical superintelligence."

The launch marks Cursor's next big step beyond its IDE, the core product developers use to access its tools.

Google announced a variety of new features for its Classroom software suite, including free Gemini AI tools for educators and NotebookLM for users under 18 — the first time the tool has been available to minors.

Teachers with a Google Workspace account will have a new dedicated Gemini tab in their Google Classroom, offering tools that can help brainstorm lesson plans, make math problems, or draft emails, among others. For those with Education Plus Edition accounts, Gemini audio lessons will also be offered as add-ons. Another new tab for Analytics will allow teachers to track student performance, highlighting any who have been showing recent improvement or who are missing assignments and may need more support.

Google will also be opening up its NotebookLM research and note-taking tool to users under 18 “in the coming months.” Students will be able to use NotebookLM to access things like interactive study guides and podcast-style audio overviews based on source materials their teachers upload. And educators can create their own custom Gems, mini custom Gemini agents, based on their curriculum to share with students. Students will be able to interact with a Gem to get extra help or learn more about a topic it’s based on. This feature goes one step further, as well, as administrators will also be able to share Gems with the teachers they oversee in their district, to help with lesson planning or whatever else administrators might like to micromanage.

A few other new tools coming to educators include Google Vids for generative AI video creation, a new “help me create a form” feature in Gemini, and the launch of Google’s Class Tools. The Class Tools feature was announced earlier this year, and now that it’s live, it will allow teachers to manage their students’ Chromebooks — like sharing content to their screens and minimizing distractions — during a lesson. By connecting directly to their students’ accounts, teachers can push a workbook, video, presentation, or even a quiz directly to their screens.

Speaking of Chromebooks, Google is also highlighting that it has more than 12 new Chromebook, Chromebook Plus, and Chromebook OPS (Intel’s Open Pluggable Specification) devices for front-of-classroom displays coming — at some point. There’s no specific timeframe given, though the list includes the recently announced Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 that I got a preview of, which is launching today.

With all these new Gemini tools for teachers and students, Google is also announcing that Gemini Education is now the standard tier for its base-level education accounts. It offers Gemini 2.5 Pro AI models, which educators can access with higher limits than base-level consumer accounts. Existing Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium add-ons will be unified as Google AI Pro for Education.

Following the success of 2015’s The Martian, Amazon MGM Studios has released the first trailer for Project Hail Mary based on another best-selling Andy Weir novel. The film features Ryan Gosling, who’s entering his sci-fi era after being cast in Star Wars: Starfighter, as science teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he’s light years from Earth.

The trailer starts with a very bearded Grace waking up from a coma on a spaceship that he discovers is 11.9 light years from Earth. Through a series of flashbacks we learn that Earth’s sun, as well as countless neighboring stars, are all dying as a result of a mysterious substance — except one. A reluctant Grace, who has a Doctorate in molecular biology, is recruited as an astronaut to visit this star and hopefully find out why it’s not affected in an effort to save mankind.

But it turns out Earth isn’t the only planet with a dying sun who has sent a savior to this star, and Grace finds himself meeting an alien ally who we only see brief glimpses of in this first trailer.

The film is produced and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller who created the animated Spider-Verse franchise and who wrote and directed the original Lego movie. The Project Hail Mary novel was adapted by Drew Goodard (who previously adapted Weir’s The Martian) and the film, which hits theaters on March 20th, 2026, also stars Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub.

Anker has issued its second product recall so far this month, warning customers that five additional power bank models should stop being used “immediately due to the risk of overheating, melting, smoke, or fire.” 

“While the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to initiate a voluntary global recall of several Anker power bank models,” Anker announced. The concerns mirror those that Anker mentioned in its earlier recall of model A1263 PowerCore 10000 power banks sold in the US, with the company announcing that it has identified a “potential issue” with lithium-ion batteries provided by one of its suppliers. 

The following products are affected by the recall and can be identified by locating the model number on the back or side of the device:

• Anker Power Bank (model A1257 and A1647)
• Anker MagGo Power Bank (model A1652)
• Anker Zolo Power Bank (model A1681 and A1689)

Anker is offering affected customers in the US the choice of a free replacement power bank or a gift card to use on the Anker website. You can claim these by submitting a recall claim form on Anker’s website alongside a verified product serial number or proof of purchase.

While Anker flagged purchase dates between June 1st, 2016 and December 31st, 2022 for the model A1263 recall earlier this month, it hasn’t detailed a similar timeline for the additional five power banks, which are mostly more recent models. Some were still available to buy prior to the company’s latest announcement.

Anker says that any power banks affected by this recall need to be safely disposed of at a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries. Due to the risk of fires, these should not be thrown away in general trash, recycling bins, or at the used battery boxes provided at various retail locations.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said it has received 19 reports of fires and explosions related to the model A1263 recall earlier this month. It’s currently unclear if similar reports have been made regarding the other power banks that Anker is recalling, but given the speedy recall and global escalation, the company appears to be taking the concerns seriously. Anker says global regulatory authorities have been formally notified to ensure the recall is compliant with local guidelines.
