Apple releases updates to its beta software, including two versions of macOS Sequoia. Upcoming changes to Gatekeeper security will make it more difficult to run third-party software that hasn't been approved by Apple. A bug in Microsoft Authenticator, the two factor authenticating tool, locks users out of accounts. And Apple sells out of a popular piece of hardware.
