Over the past 15 years, password managers have grown from a niche security tool used by the technology savvy into an indispensable security tool for the masses, with an estimated 94 million US adults—or roughly 36 percent of them—having adopted them. They store not only passwords for pension, financial, and email accounts, but often cryptocurrency credentials, payment card numbers, and other sensitive data.
All eight of the top password managers have adopted the term “zero knowledge” to describe the complex encryption system they use to protect the data vaults that users store on their servers. The definitions vary slightly from vendor to vendor, but they generally boil down to one bold assurance: that there is no way for malicious insiders or hackers who manage to compromise the cloud infrastructure to steal vaults or data stored in them. These promises make sense, given previous breaches of LastPass and the reasonable expectation that state-level hackers have both the motive and capability to obtain password vaults belonging to high-value targets.
Typical of these claims are those made by Bitwarden, Dashlane, and LastPass, which together are used by roughly 60 million people. Bitwarden, for example, says that “not even the team at Bitwarden can read your data (even if we wanted to).” Dashlane, meanwhile, says that without a user’s master password, “malicious actors can’t steal the information, even if Dashlane’s servers are compromised.” LastPass says that no one can access the “data stored in your LastPass vault, except you (not even LastPass).”
New research shows that these claims aren’t true in all cases, particularly when account recovery is in place or password managers are set to share vaults or organize users into groups. The researchers reverse-engineered or closely analyzed Bitwarden, Dashlane, and LastPass and identified ways that someone with control over the server—either administrative or the result of a compromise—can, in fact, steal data and, in some cases, entire vaults. The researchers also devised other attacks that can weaken the encryption to the point that ciphertext can be converted to plaintext.
The Coros Pace 4 is an ideal first serious fitness watch, or a more modern-feeling upgrade for those with a years-old model.
Built-in microphone
Unusually, Coros gave the Pace 4 a microphone but no speaker, intended for attaching voice notes to your activities.
Dual-band GPS
Despite being fairly affordable, the Pace 4 has dual-band GPS for more accurate location tracking.
OLED screen
This latest model sees the Pace series get on board the OLED train, with a 1.2in touchscreen.
The Coros Pace 4 is a relatively affordable fitness watch with heaps of features. And it arrived just over two years after the Pace 3.
They both offer enough features to tempt some people away from entry-level models in Garmin’s popular Forerunner range, and the Pace 4 is the first in the series to feature a smartwatch-like OLED screen. The real Coros hit here is that there’s no major sacrifice in battery life. This is a long-lasting watch, despite its new, brighter and more colourful screen.
It’s also highly comfortable and has enough high-end stats to keep you well informed about your fitness years after you start training. And the Coros Pace 4 problems? You don’t get quite the accuracy or interface gloss of a Garmin or Apple Watch, and some features could be developed further, like custom training plans and music support.
Sometimes the things that make a runner’s watch more expensive can, in some ways, make it worse. The Coros Pace 4 is a fairly humble and petite plastic-shelled design, but this helps it keep weight down to just 40g with the silicone strap I have, or 32g in the nylon band version.
It’s nearly identical to the weight of the Garmin Forerunner 165. And low weight was one of the reasons I kept using that watch months after testing was over. A light watch is less prone to movement while you run, which can affect heart rate accuracy, and is far more pleasant to wear overnight.
You can choose between the silicone or nylon straps when you buy, and the Pace 4 comes in subtle two-tone white and black finishes.
Despite being a cost-conscious watch, the Coros Pace 4 has multiple methods of control. There’s a touchscreen, side buttons, and a rotating crown for scrolling through menus. The watch even has quite refined-feeling haptics, although the breadth of what the haptic motor can do isn’t close to as wide as an Apple Watch’s.
Like just about every decent watch in this class, the Pace 4 has 5ATM water resistance and is considered ready for pool swimming. Just don’t take it for a diving session.
The Coros Pace 4 has a 1.2-inch, 390 x 390-pixel OLED screen. It’s sharp, and dramatically more colourful and punchy than the MIP display of the Pace 3.
In its default mode, the watch’s brightness is a little low considering the screen is rated at a more-than-respectable 1500 nits. You might want to consider bumping it up to one of the two higher settings to see what the Pace 4 can do, although none of them get close to the sheer brightness of a Garmin Forerunner 570 or Forerunner 970, mostly due to how brightness is handled versus ambient light level.
That’s no issue, though. They are far more expensive watches, and the closer Forerunner 165 is only rated for 800 nits of brightness.
You have the option to switch on the Pace 4’s “always on” mode too. As usual, this keeps the screen lit when the watch is worn but not in use, displaying a dimmed version of the clock display. But it does come with a cost to battery life.
Coros rates the Pace 4 for up to 19 days of use between charges, to six days in the always-on screen mode.
I’ve found it tends to last around 12 days with my kind of usage. But you can expect greater variance in an OLED watch like the Pace 4 than an MIP one like the Pace 3. And that’s particularly true if you set the screen to stay on during tracked exercise and do some longer distance running, cycling or walking.
This is excellent stamina for a watch this small with an OLED screen. Long battery life is a common trait among Coros watches.
The Pace 4 is one of the company’s cheaper watches, though, which rules out a few higher-end features. You can’t download map data to the watch; only breadcrumb-trail-style GPX files.
And while there is a microphone, there is no speaker. In most watches, the microphone and speaker come as a pair, because one of their main duties is enabling a connection to a smart assistant. But Coros has taken a different approach with the Pace 4.
You use the microphone to log voice note style clips to accompany your workouts, or as “voice pins” more likely to be useful for hiking and walking. I doubt many will use this too often, though, as it’s actually not that convenient to do with the current software version.
Returning to the more familiar stuff, the Coros Pace 4 has a typically highly competitive set of features in this class. It has dual-band GPS, for better location tracking in more challenging spaces. I had zero issues with GPS signal during testing, although I was not testing in a steep valley or in the centre of Manhattan.
Coros also provides some stats that go beyond the beginner stuff. At the top of the list is a set of vitals that serious athletes can use to manage their workload. These are training load, recovery (expressed as a percentage) and Training Status. As usual, these are influenced by factors such as your sleep, workouts, stress, and your heart rate relative to performance during workouts.
Add to those your Running Fitness stat and cycling FTP, and runners/cyclists can get a reasonably complete view of how their training is working over time. Viewing Running Fitness data doesn’t require any extra effort and gives you an estimate of your 5K/10K/HM/marathon times. It’s a little like VO2 Max, but it isn’t a replacement for it, as you can find that score too if you dig into the app.
However, as usual, cycling FTP requires a power meter, so Coros isn’t just left pulling stats out of the air.
The Coros Pace 4 doesn’t lack any core sensors either. Its heart rate array has the LEDs required for blood oxygenation readings, and crucially, there is a barometric altimeter too. Coros doesn’t use this to estimate the number of flights of stairs you climb each day — which Garmin offers — but you can see your elevation and air pressure.
There’s not much friendly fluff to the Coros Pace 4 considering it’s a somewhat entry-level watch, but then again if you seek out this brand, proper activity tracking is likely your goal. Another kind of fluff might be worth thinking about a little more, though.
The Pace 4’s interface is practical and not too complicated, but it isn’t super slick compared with that of plenty of other less fitness-driven OLED watches. And that of the Garmin Forerunner series. A bump in sharpness and vibrancy, thanks to the screen, isn’t really matched with much improved interface sophistication and style.
You can also use the Coros Pace 4 for phone-free entertainment, as it has some storage for music. 4GB is the quoted figure, but only around 1.7GB is actually available. These need to be your own digital audio files, as the Pace 4 does not sync with music services like Spotify.
Once again, a smartwatch-style display doesn’t come with a modern smartwatch sensibility elsewhere. And as there’s no speaker, you need to connect to Bluetooth headphones or a speaker.
The Pace 4 can also send its live heart rate data to other devices over Bluetooth. It’s not a proprietary system, operating much like a Bluetooth-based HR chest strap on the back-end.
The Coros Pace 4’s performance can be divided into two core characteristics. Location tracking is great; it can reliably pin your position tightly enough to clearly show when you cross the road, without ending up with a map showing you careening through buildings.
Triangulation takes a few seconds, but nothing long enough to slow down your workouts as long as the Pace 4 has up-to-date GPS info synced through the Coros app.
There are some slight holes to poke in the Pace 4’s heart rate readings, but likely not deal-breaking ones for most.
For running, it only messed up on the initial test run, showing a too-high heart rate throughout. Following that, though, the Pace 4 was mostly great for running. No major mess-ups during the start of workouts, or meandering readings during long runs. It would sometimes record noticeably higher max figures than my test Garmin watch, generally relating to short clips amid otherwise consistent figures.
It was in other pursuits that the Coros Pace 4 didn’t quite do as well as that Garmin Forerunner 970 I used for comparison purposes. Gym visits end up producing too vague-looking a heart rate graph, the watch missing a lot of the short peaks involved with ordinary weight sessions.
The Pace 4 didn’t excel during a spin class either, showing a heart rate that was too low throughout. It’s good at the core stuff, but may struggle on occasion to provide super-accurate results in more challenging scenarios.
I also find Coros’s sleep tracking relatively forgiving. It’s not that its estimates of your time sleeping are way off, more that its verdict on less-than-ideal nights is pretty lax. That said, if you have owned a Garmin and are tired of it always saying you’re on the verge of collapse thanks to poor sleep, maybe that’s not a bad thing.
Weighing just 32g with the nylon strap, the Pace 4 is one of the lightest in its category, but it’ll still last up to 19 days.
With no downloadable maps or support for third-party apps, there are smarter watches out there at a similar cost.
The Coros Pace 4 is a great, affordable fitness tracking watch for those who want a good spread of features but don’t want to spend a fortune in the process.
Highlights include long battery life, great comfort, and an OLED screen that is far sharper and punchier than that of the previous-generation Pace 3. Its dual-frequency GPS also holds up well, generating accurate and consistent distance data and reliable post-workout maps of your routes.
Heart rate tracking is just a little behind the very best, but it’s not worth dwelling on too much for those upgrading from a much older watch or getting their first serious fitness wearable.
We thoroughly test every smartwatch we review. We use industry-standard testing to compare features properly and we use the watch as our main device over the review period. We’ll always tell you what we find and we never, ever, accept money to review a product.
The Pace 4 is rated for 5ATM water resistance, good enough for swimming but not diving.
The Pace 4 does not support on-watch maps, only breadcrumb routes

It appears like YouTube is suffering an outage, with a mass of reports on DownDetector flagging the service as not working in the US and UK, and Reddit users reporting the service is throwing up an error message.
I’m personally experiencing YouTube outages on my LG C1 OLED TV, iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, so I can confirm this outage appears to be legitimate and not limited to a specific device.
A backpack that automatically opens an umbrella may seem like a trivial convenience, but inventor Current Concept took the idea and turned it into a practical reality that’s actually rather astounding. That’s correct, he created a backpack that automatically opens an umbrella when it starts raining, keeping your hands free and your head dry with no effort on your side.
The brain of the operation is housed inside a regular backpack, thanks to an ESP32 microcontroller that constantly monitors for rain. The trigger is a rather simple rain sensor affixed to the umbrella’s canopy, consisting of a little board with copper traces that are close together when dry but become bridged by water when it rains, sending a signal to the ESP32.
Sale
Activation occurs when enough rain falls on the sensor. The ESP32 then utilizes a servo to trigger a camera, which presses the umbrella’s built-in open button in the same way that your thumb would. And the good news is that Current Concept left the umbrella entirely alone; the motor remains outside and can be simply reversed if necessary.
While opening the umbrella is simple enough, closing it is a another issue. Automatic umbrellas aren’t known for being easy to shut down; they have a lot of spring tension. Early attempts with normal servos failed… so Current Concept resorted to a high-torque motor with a worm gearbox, which multiplies the power and prevents the umbrella from folding back on itself.
When you try to close it, a spool of quarter-inch Dyneema rope, which is incredibly strong and can withstand over a thousand pounds, begins to reel it back in. During the opening process, a servo-operated clutch disengages the spool, allowing the umbrella to fully extend. Once deployed, another servo gently nudges it to the side to get it out of your hair.
Custom work was necessary during the build, including the installation of a sliding carriage to lift the folded umbrella out of the backpack. The inventor created a handmade wooden base plate to match the curve of the backpack, stitched it all together, and locked it in place. The rest is made up of 3D-printed brackets, a cam, a clutch, and cable guides, all of which glide and tilt smoothly.

Google is rolling out a major update to its Gemini AI platform that changes how mobile users interact with artificial intelligence on Android devices. With its latest enhancement, Gemini can now operate in split-screen mode alongside other apps, allowing the AI assistant to work in context with what’s on your phone screen – without forcing you to switch between apps.
Traditionally, AI assistants on smartphones have existed in separate interfaces: you open a chat window, ask a question, then switch back to your app of choice once you’ve received an answer. Google’s new split-screen implementation breaks that pattern. Now, Gemini can appear alongside another app in a dedicated pane, actively assisting you as you work.
For example, while composing an email or message, Gemini can suggest phrasing, refine text, or draft replies in real time. If you’re reading a long article or document in a browser, the AI can pull out key points or summaries without interrupting your reading flow. In messaging apps, users can ask Gemini to help with reply suggestions or generate quick responses based on the conversation visible on the screen.
This update is part of Google’s broader effort to make its AI tools more assistive – not just reactive. Instead of waiting for a user to ask a question, Gemini can now be a contextual partner that actively contributes to your tasks.
Already rolling out to select Android devices and compatible apps, the split-screen feature shows up as an option to “open Gemini” alongside supported applications. Once activated, the AI pane remains visible and interactive while the primary app stays in view.
This move reflects a broader shift in how manufacturers and developers are thinking about artificial intelligence on mobile platforms. Instead of treating AI as a separate service that users dip into occasionally, companies like Google are moving toward AI-augmented multitasking, where generative intelligence becomes part of everyday mobile workflows.
Competitors such as Apple and Microsoft have also signaled interest in deeper AI integration into their respective operating systems. Microsoft is exploring AI tools within Windows apps, while Apple is preparing its on-device AI services in iOS. Google’s split-screen implementation represents one of the more advanced examples of contextual AI integration on Android so far.
For users, this evolution means less context switching. You no longer need to copy text from one app, open a separate AI interface, and paste it back – Gemini can be right there beside your content, understanding what you’re doing and suggesting enhancements on the fly.
Streamlining tasks like drafting replies, summarizing long content, or generating ideas can save time and reduce friction in routine workflows. Students researching topics, professionals juggling communication, or casual users trying to extract insights from articles will find the new split-screen Gemini a practical addition.
Privacy-minded individuals will also appreciate that Gemini’s split-screen tools work within the context of their existing apps, rather than funneling data through separate windows or services.
Google’s rollout is still in the early stages, and not all devices or apps support the split-screen feature yet. But the groundwork has been laid for even deeper integrations, where third-party apps might expose richer interfaces that Gemini can use to provide more tailored assistance. Developers could eventually allow Gemini access to app content in structured ways, similar to desktop AI plugins.
As AI becomes more embedded into operating systems, experiences like split-screen multitasking may soon become commonplace, blurring the line between app and assistant. Google’s latest move with Gemini hints at a future where your phone’s AI doesn’t just answer questions – it helps you get things done.
A government customer of sanctioned spyware maker Intellexa hacked the phone of a prominent journalist in Angola, according to Amnesty International, the latest case of targeting someone in civil society with powerful phone-hacking software.
The human rights organization published a new report Tuesday analyzing several hacking attempts against local journalist and press freedom activist Teixeira Cândido, in which he was sent a series of malicious links via WhatsApp during 2024.
Cândido eventually clicked on one and his iPhone was hacked with Intellexa’s spyware, dubbed Predator, Amnesty found.
The new research shows again that government customers of commercial surveillance vendors are increasingly using spyware to target journalists, politicians, and other ordinary citizens, including critics. Researchers have previously found evidence of Predator abuse in Egypt, Greece, and Vietnam, where the government reportedly targeted U.S. officials by sending the spyware via links on X.
Do you have more information about Intellexa? Or other spyware makers? From a non-work device, you can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, or via Telegram and Keybase @lorenzofb, or email.
Intellexa is one of the most controversial spyware makers of the last few years, operating from different jurisdictions to skirt export laws and using an “opaque web of corporate entities” — as a U.S government official put it at the time — to hide its activities.
In 2024, around the same time one of Intellexa’s customers was targeting Cândido with its spyware, the outgoing Biden administration sanctioned the company, as well as its founder Tal Dilian and his business partner Sara Aleksandra Fayssal Hamou.
Earlier this year, the Treasury lifted sanctions against three other executives tied to Intellexa, a decision that left Senate Democrats demanding answers from the Trump administration.
Dilian did not respond to a request for comment.
Amnesty researchers wrote in the report that they linked the intrusions to Intellexa by examining forensic traces found on Cândido’s phone. Amnesty said that Intellexa used infection servers that had been previously linked to the company’s spyware infrastructure.
Several hours after clicking on the link that led to his phone hack, Cândido rebooted his phone, which wiped the spyware from his device. Amnesty said it wasn’t clear how the spyware was capable of hacking Cândido’s phone, as his phone was running an outdated version of iOS at the time.
The researchers found that Predator stayed hidden by impersonating legitimate iOS system processes to avoid detection.
Amnesty believes Cândido may be just one of many targets in the country, based on their findings that they were able to find multiple domains linked to the spyware maker used in Angola.
“The first domains linked to Angola were deployed as early as March 2023, indicating the start of Predator testing or deployment in the country,” wrote the Amnesty researchers, who added that they had no evidence to determine exactly who hacked Cândido.
“It is not currently possible to conclusively identify the customer of the Predator spyware in the country,” read the report.
Last year, based on leaks of internal documents, Amnesty and media organizations revealed that Intellexa employees had the ability to access customers’ systems remotely, potentially giving the spyware maker visibility into government surveillance operations.
Those leaks, like this report, shows that despite its controversies and sanctions, Intellexa has remained active in recent years.
“We’ve now seen confirmed abuses in Angola, Egypt, Pakistan, Greece, and beyond — and for every case we uncover, many more abuses surely remain hidden,” said Donncha Ó Cearbhaill, the head of the security lab at Amnesty International.

Users of the Apple Wallet app can now use a digital Car Key to lock and unlock the Toyota Rav4, but the feature’s availability has yet to expand to other Toyota vehicles.
Since 2020, the Car Key feature has allowed iPhone and Apple Watch owners to unlock and start their cars with the use of mobile devices. According to a social media post spotted on Monday, the 2026 Toyota Rav4 has gained support for Apple’s Car Key system.
More than 30 vehicle manufacturers already support Apple’s Car Key feature. At WWDC 2025, Apple explained that Car Key would make its way to 13 additional vehicle brands. Toyota might be the latest automaker to roll out Apple Car Key support, but there are a few caveats.

After a decade helping Avalara scale its tax software business, Alesia Pinney is taking aim at a different kind of tax headache.
Pinney is CEO and co-founder of Legata, a Seattle-area startup helping affluent households create estate plans.
She said the idea for Legata grew out of frustration with Washington’s estate tax and how little many families understand about the risk to their assets.
“There are so many people who don’t really realize that they’re going to lose family wealth if they don’t plan,” Pinney said.
Legata’s online platform walks households through creating wills, trusts and related documents so they preserve available exemptions and reduce potential estate tax exposure. The company aims to modernize what Pinney describes as an increasingly strained system: more affluent households, fewer estate planning attorneys, and complex state-by-state tax rules.
Washington is one of a handful of states with its own estate tax, separate from the federal estate tax, that applies to estates exceeding $3 million per person. The debate over estate taxes has been heating up after Washington lawmakers passed a bill last year that increased the top rate to as high as 35%, among the highest in the country.
Now, lawmakers are moving a proposal in this year’s legislative session to repeal that change amid fears of wealthy residents leaving Washington state. The tax increase also drew criticism from tech leaders.
Pinney said she supports rolling back the estate tax hike “because we are losing entrepreneurs and will continue to do so if we aren’t more thoughtful about taxation.”
The CEO published a recent blog post detailing how Washington’s estate tax can impact cases involving Washington property or business interests.
After launching last year with an initial focus on Washington state, Legata is now serving clients nationwide. “There’s kind of an estate planning crisis all over the country,” Pinney said.
Legata is aimed at households with roughly $1 million to $20 million in assets. Pinney said traditional estate-planning services tend to focus either on people with very modest estates that will never face estate tax, or on ultra-high-net-worth families with complex needs.
The cost is $1,495 to create an estate plan, plus $195 per year for an ongoing subscription. The subscription includes document storage, updates when laws change, and reminders about tasks such as retitling assets.
Pinney said Legata can also be used by attorneys who are overwhelmed by demand. Many estate-planning lawyers, she said, already turn away clients because they lack capacity.
The company uses artificial intelligence internally to help draft and curate content, but Pinney said all materials that reach customers are reviewed by lawyers.
Pinney spent more than 12 years at Avalara and was its chief legal officer and an executive vice president, helping lead the company through its IPO and subsequent $8.4 billion private equity deal in 2022. She started her career as a CPA at Deloitte before becoming a corporate attorney at Perkins Coie.
Legata’s leadership team also includes other former Avalara employees: Legata co-founder Henry Frantz was a legal operations manager at Avalara, while CMO Bryan Wiggins was vice president of marketing.
Legata has raised $725,000 in funding and employs less than 10 people. Pinney said the startup is under review by regulators in Washington state to provide legal services.
