Peace of mind in your kid's shoe: This AirTag holder can ease your back-to-school worries
We purchased an Apple AirTag and a hidden holder shoe insole that fits neatly inside my son's shoes.
AirTags have been a common device for parents to keep an eye on their child for a few years now, but kids can lose watches, the tracker can come detached from clothes and your little one can even be separated from their backpack, rendering the device fairly useless. The odds of my son losing his shoes in an emergency are lower, so that's where our comfort comes from.
Here's how to shop the hidden AirTag holder insole before you send your kiddos off to school this year.

AirTags are a great option for anything you frequently misplace, or just need that extra peace of mind with a tracking-capable device. Here are some more accessories that might be of use:

One of Asics' most comfortable running sneakers is now $40 cheaper — here's why I recommend it
The Asics Gel-Kayano 31 just launched last summer and has been praised (including by us at Tom's Guide) for its reliable comfort and stability features suitable for both overpronators and neutral runners. Conveniently, I've just spotted the sneaker marked down in an Amazon sale by 24%, making a pair just $124. If you're looking to replace your soleless old running shoes in your wardrobe or just need a more supportive option in your rotation, you won't want to miss this deal. Now priced at $124, this is the lowest prices we've seen on the Asics Gel-Kayano 31. The latest model in Asics' popular stability line keeps much of the design from the Gel-Kayano 30, with subtle updates including a more breathable upper and a new outsole material. The men's version is also discounted to $124. The Asics Gel-Kayano 31 is a top pick for runners who want plush cushioning and reliable support without feeling boxed into a traditional stability shoe. Designed with comfort in mind, it uses Asics' FF Blast Plus Eco foam to create a soft yet stable ride, perfect for soaking up impact on long, easy runs or recovery days. Stability is where the Gel-Kayano 31 really shines. Asics' 4D Guidance System subtly keeps your foot aligned by combining a wide base, raised foam sidewalls, and targeted support through the arch, all without any stiff or intrusive features. Even neutral runners will find the ride smooth and balanced, especially toward the end of a tough run when form starts to dwindle. The upper in this latest iteration of the Gel-Kayano has been refreshed for better breathability, and the knit collar adds a secure, sock-like feel. Meanwhile the padding around the heel and tongue adds to the plush fit, although it can run slightly warm on hot days. The outsole has also been upgraded with Hybrid AsicsGrip rubber, which offers noticeably better traction on slick pavements.

Microsoft Deadline—72 Hours To Stop Using Your Passwords
Do not leave this too late. 'The 'password era is ending,' Microsoft has warned its billion users, confirming that it wants all those users to delete their passwords given that account attacks are now surging. As part of this change, a 72 hour deadline means you must act now. On the surface, Microsoft's decision to delete any passwords you have stored in its Authenticator app is straightforward. 'You can continue to access them,' it says, 'with Microsoft Edge, a secure and user-friendly AI-powered web browser.' The Authenticator app 'will continue to support passkeys,' which has been overlooked as the password deletion warning has grabbed the headlines. Microsoft doesn't want you to move your passwords, it wants you to replace them with passkeys where you can. So don't move your passwords, stop using them use passkeys instead. Just as with Google's warning to Gmail users, Amazon's warning to Prime users, and Microsoft's own warning to all its users, this is the time to make that change. All these major providers support passkeys, and you should add them now. 'If you have set up Passkeys for your Microsoft Account,' you must 'ensure that Authenticator remains enabled as your Passkey Provider. Disabling Authenticator will disable your passkeys.' Microsoft has already killed its autofill password capability. So while some of your passwords cannot be replaced with passkeys and need to be moved, where accounts do support passkeys, you should take this opportunity to stop using those passwords and upgrade the security on the accounts instead. And before blindly moving passwords to Edge, you should also bear in mind the security risks in using browser-based passwords managers. A standalone app is best, ensuring a fire-gap between the websites you visit and the passwords you have saved. 'While enrolling passkeys is an important step,' Microsoft says, 'it's just the beginning. Even if we get our more than one billion users to enroll and use passkeys, if a user has both a passkey and a password, and both grant access to an account, the account is still at risk for phishing. Our ultimate goal is to remove passwords completely and have accounts that only support phishing-resistant credentials.'

I test soundbars for a living — upgrade your TV audio for under $300 with these budget picks
Your TV speakers suck. I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but it's important that you're aware. As TV manufacturers make ever-thinner TV sets, the space your speakers have to breathe becomes ever more tight and restrictive, the speakers inside your TV sound worse and worse by the year. You could be cynical — "It's because the manufacturers want you to buy the matching soundbar!" — and there's a part of that which could be close to the truth. But. That doesn't mean you have to go out and buy the expensive matching soundbar option for your TV. We've tested loads of the best soundbars at Tom's Guide, and there are some great options out there that won't stretch your budget. Here are three at slightly different price points to give you what you want for less. If you're looking for the best way to get excellent sound for your TV without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a more expensive option, the Sony HT-S100F is an excellent way of making dialogue clearer and movies sound bigger for only $150. You're not going to get a full surround experience or a big, floor-rumbling subwoofer with this option, but you are going to get some very good separate speakers that make watching TV a joy. Voices that are muffled and annoying on your TV are now much clearer and easier to make out, and soundtracks sound much fuller and exciting. The soundbar earned 4 stars in our review thanks to its boost in sound quality over your (awful) TV speakers. Just plug it in and you're away, with a simple-to-use remote control to keep on top of volume level and sound mode. You're not going to do better for $150. A very solid soundbar for a very solid price, the HT-S100F brings excellent sound for your TV without emptying your wallet. It's even been spotted for under $100, so it might be worth watching that price over deals events like Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day. "Oh, it's a Sonos, that means it's going to be really expensive, right?" Not so, weary soundbar traveler, your patience wearing thin as you scan the Amazon listings for 'cheap soundbars.' The Sonos Ray is the cheapest of the Sonos family, and it's actually really not all that expensive when compared to the competition. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's $200, and brings all the smarts of the more expensive models into a more affordable package. That means AirPlay 2 and the Sonos app so that you can stream all your favorite tunes without the need to dip into a Bluetooth menu. It connects to the TV really easily as well, and then plays some excellent sound for your movies and TV. There's no Dolby Atmos or surround sound here, but it's a great option for smaller TV sets and smaller rooms. A great option for a not world-ending price. Sonos' smallest soundbar still packs a massive movie punch, with massive bass and excellent dialogue. The smart features are what make it though, with AirPlay 2 and connection to the Sonos app so that you can stream music to it. The compact Samsung HW-B650 sounds much bigger than it's size would suggest, thanks to a 3.1 setup inside. That's about as surround-y as you're going to get for this price, and it does a marvelous job of making your movies and TV sound larger than life. It's the seperate subwoofer that comes in the box which really comes in clutch, though. It produces some lovely bass for explosions, music, and other sounds that need some more power behind them. It's the most expensive on the list, but if you want your movies to get more cinematic on a budget, this is the way to go. The HW-B650 is a great soundbar, especially if you're after a bit more bass. There's a dedicated subwoofer in the box for the low stuff, and the soundbar itself does a great job at some pseudo-surround thanks to its 3.1 setup. The price is right — this could be the soundbar for you. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds. Make sure to click the Follow button.
