Upcoming Changes and New Looks for Sports Websites in August

SB Nation is upgrading to a new platform and login system on August 5, requiring users to log in again with their email. Existing login methods like Google, Facebook, and Apple are supported, but Twitter and Yahoo will no longer work unless users add a password or alternative login before the deadline. Account data and avatars will be preserved during the transition, and the new system is shared across Vox Media properties, allowing for seamless login across sites if emails match.

"Unveiling the Google-Fitbit Data Transfer: A Step-by-Step Guide"

Fitbit users can now migrate their accounts to Google, with the option becoming mandatory once Fitbit ends support for standalone accounts. Legacy Fitbit users have until at least 2025 to make the switch, but those planning to stick with Fitbit or Pixel Watch can do so now. The migration process involves updating the Fitbit app, choosing a Google account, reviewing and confirming Fitbit setup, agreeing to Google's privacy policy, and optionally contributing health data to research initiatives. The process takes around five to 10 minutes.

Netflix Enhances Profile Transfer Feature for Easier Account Switching

Netflix has updated its Profile Transfer feature, allowing users to transfer their data from one existing account to another, addressing a limitation of the previous version that only allowed transfers to new accounts. The feature enables users impacted by Netflix's crackdown on password sharing to easily create their own accounts while retaining personalized recommendations, viewing history, My List, saved games, and other settings. The company has been actively blocking password sharing by requiring devices to log into the home Wi-Fi network associated with the account at least once every 31 days.

Fitbit users to migrate to Google Accounts this summer.

Fitbit users can now choose to log in using a Google account, while new users will be required to use a Google account when setting up any new devices. Existing users don't have to make the switch immediately, but it'll be required by 2025. Google says migrating logins won't have an impact on historical wellness and health data, and Fitbit data will remain separate from Google Ads data and will not be used for targeted ads. The new login requirements are positioned as more convenient for users, allowing them to use one password for both services.
