Which iPhones Have Wireless Charging?

Wireless charging means you can re-energize your phone’s battery without a physical tether. It also prevents possible damage to your phone’s charging port. Unfortunately, not all phones support wireless charging, but we’ll tell you which iPhone models do.

When you recharge your iPhone’s battery without plugging a cord into it, this reduces wear and tear or possible damage to the Lightning port.

Technically, the power transfer process does require a cord—the power cord that connects the wireless charging pad to an electrical outlet. The energy passes from the power outlet through the cord and into the charging pad.

Thunderbolt 3 vs. USB-C: Care este diferența?

Laptopurile mai noi vin adesea încărcate cu un port care acceptă un conector reversibil și acceptă viteze de transfer foarte rapide. Știi ce e asta? Dacă ați ghicit portul Thunderbolt 3 sau USB 3.1, aveți dreptate, iar aici este problema.

How to Turn on Two-Factor Authentication for LinkedIn

LinkedIn Logo

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a great security tool, and we always recommend it. Most apps make it pretty easy to turn on 2FA, and LinkedIn is no exception. Here’s how to enable it and make yourself safer.

You can turn on two-factor authentication from either the LinkedIn website or the mobile app, but either way, you’ll need to be logged in to your LinkedIn account. Go ahead and do this first.

Click on your avatar in the top-right corner of the LinkedIn website. In the menu that opens, click the “Settings & Privacy” option.

The "Settings & Privacy" menu option.

Click on the Account tab, scroll down to the “Two-Step Verification” section, and then click the “Change” link.

The Account tab, and the "Two-step verification" option.

The section will expand. Click the “Turn On” button.

The "Two-step verification" option with "Turn on" highlighted.

You can choose whether to use an authenticator app to generate a code for you or to receive SMS (text) messages with the code. We strongly recommend using an authenticator app as it’s more secure, but two-factor authentication using SMS is still much safer than not using two-factor authentication at all.

Choose your method—we’re going to use an authenticator app—and then click the “Continue” button.

The verification method dropdown.

Enter your password in the prompt that appears and then click “Done.”

The Password entry field and the Done button.

The instructions for adding an account to your authenticator app are displayed. Add a new account in your authenticator app, scan the QR code using your phone’s camera, and once the account is created, enter the six-digit code from the authenticator app into the text box in LinkedIn and click “Continue.”

Two-factor authentication is now turned on. Click on “Recovery Codes” to display the backup codes, so you can still get in if you ever lose your phone.

The "Two-step verification" settings, with "recovery codes" highlighted.

Click “Copy Codes” and save them somewhere secure. You’ll need them to get into your LinkedIn account if you ever lose or wipe your phone.

Now that you’ve turned on two-factor authentication, you’ll need to log in again through any other devices you use, such as your phone.
