A new version has arrived for Photos institution, which has been rolling along like a train with new features and releases lately, with some really interesting new features.
First of all, perhaps the most important news: the introduction of passkeys. It is now possible to associate one or more passkeys with your Ente account to log in easily.
ente Photos arrives at version 0.9 with passkey and video editor
Advice, as also suggested by Proton, is to use a non-binding provider for passkeys. As you can also see from the table below, using Google or Apple as a provider will lead you to be somehow tied to them and their account.
Instead, using a system like Proton Pass, Bitwarden or KeepassXC will allow you to be more free in their use.
Passkey, to put it very briefly, is a system that will allow you to log in without having to manually enter your username and password.
Video editing
From today, in addition to being able to edit your photographs, there is also a simple video editor. Once you have opened your video with Photos you can cut or rotate it.
It is a completely offline video editor that will allow you to do small operations on your footage.
ente Photos reaches version 0.9
These two are probably the two most important features. However, there is a third very interesting new feature which is the possibility of easily viewing which files take up the most space.
Going below now Settings – Backups – Free up space you can check, and possibly remove, the files that take up the most space.
Finally, a new method for easily sharing files has been added. Simply select a photo or video and the green arrow will immediately appear with the words Send link. By pressing it you will create a quick link to your album (which can also be made up of a single photo).
