Apple Seeds Second Beta of macOS Ventura 13.2 to Developers

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming macOS Ventura 13.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming four weeks after the release of the first macOS Ventura 13.2 beta.

Ventura Macs Feature Red
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings.

The ‌macOS Ventura‌ 13.2 update introduces support for Security Keys for the Apple ID, allowing users to verify their identity with physical hardware rather than a digital device code. Security Keys offer additional protection for the ‌Apple ID‌, replacing the current verification codes provided on a secondary device when signing into a new device, signing into iCloud, using the Apple Store, and more.

Still haven't updated to Ventura due to all the external display problems being reported. Is 13.2 finally bringing it to a point that is at least as functional as Monterey? (which is still a mess, but hey, that's modern macOS for ya)

I really hope they fix the mess with TB3 docks, USB-C connected displays and the new Apple Silicon Macs. But I am not holding my breath ...
What mess? I am running two TB3 docks each with an LG screen attached via TB/USB-C and it works flawlessly.
