One of the features I really liked about the Microsoft Authenticator apps was the built-in password manager. It allowed you to store and automatically fill passwords on apps and websites, which worked great. But Microsoft has decided to remove the feature this summer, and if you have been using it, then you will need to act now to move your passwords. Otherwise, you will lose access to your stored passwords. Microsoft wants to streamline how passwords are stored in your Microsoft account.

Last week Microsoft announced that it will enforce stricter standards for domains sending more than 5,000 emails per day.

A common problem with SharePoint storage is that you can run out of storage space quickly. You can buy extra storage but as you might know, that is quite expensive. Now the main cause of the excessive storage consumption is the file versioning in SharePoint. The file versioning is a great feature, but the problem arises when you are storing large files.

How to configure and use UniFi VPN Server

Sep 6, 2024 | lazyadmin.nl | Rudy Mens

Setting up a VPN server in your own network allows you to connect to your network when working remotely and access local resources like a NAS.

Another advantage of using a VPN server is that you not only can access local resources, but it also allows you to route all your internet traffic through your own ISP connection. This is especially useful when working on a public WiFi for example.
