1Password is one of our favorite password managers , especially for users who are new to password management tools. It has a handful of unique features and hidden hacks that keep your data safe and secure while also making it accessible when you need to log into an account, make an online payment, or view a sensitive document. Here's how to get the most out of your 1Password subscription. Enable Travel Mode to hide your more sensitive data at border crossings Travel Mode is one of 1Password's most unique features, and it's especially useful for anyone concerned about keeping their data private when crossing international borders. When Travel Mode is enabled, password vaults are removed from your devices unless you've marked them as "safe," so anyone accessing your phone or computer for inspection won't be able to see anything you've hidden. You can only manage Travel Mode at 1Password.com: after logging in, select your name > Manage Account and t...

When talking to a chatbot like ChatGPT, you should never assume your conversations are private . Many chatbots, by default, use your discussions to train the underlying AI models, but even if you opt out of training, or use a temporary chat, these conversations are often stored on company servers for some limited amount of time. The general rule of thumb is to avoid sharing anything with a chatbot that you wouldn't want to come out in public. (Proprietary company information, personal secrets, etc.) But what if the chatbot in question already has your private information? What if ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is happy to share your phone number with anyone who asks for it? That's the discussion I stumbled upon this week, following reporting from Eileen Guo of MIT Technology Review . In the piece, Guo reviews a series of claims from users who say that chatbots have been sharing personal information, like phone numbers, when requested. In some cases, the chatbots would share the i...

Microsoft Teams is a multi-use platform for chatting, calling, video conferencing, and collaboration, which means it has a lot of features, as well as integrations with other Microsoft 365 apps. If your workplace relies on Teams, there are several hacks you need to know to work more efficiently and get the most out of the platform. Use email forwarding to send attachments directly to a Teams channel If you receive an email (and email attachment) that is relevant to a conversation happening in Teams, you don't need to send it to others' inboxes, copy and paste, or download and upload to the correct chat or channel. Instead, you can forward it directly from Outlook to Teams, and both the email and attachment will automatically populate for recipients, who can click on the preview to see the full content in Teams. When viewing the email in Outlook on desktop, select Share to Teams in the toolbar and select Open Teams app . Then choose the destination, add an optional message, a...

I’m so much in the habit of recording and tracking my workouts that when I started training for Hyrox, my first question was, "how will I track them?" I want to keep an eye on my heart rate, so that narrowed it down to watches rather than smart bands or rings . But which is best? I tried four different watches and found two clear winners—depending on what you want to focus on.  Hyrox is, of course, the hybrid fitness sport that blends running with strength-endurance activities. (I have an explainer on it here .) A typical Hyrox or hybrid fitness workout involves cardio and strength exercises, which you’ll usually switch between throughout. You’ll probably want to note when you switch exercises (by pressing a lap button on your tracker), and you may want to track rests. If running is involved, you might want to know your run distance. No matter what, you probably want to keep an eye on your heart rate. You ...

If you're an Android user or you've had an Android phone over the past nine years or so, listen up: Google just agreed to a $135 million lawsuit that you're likely a class member of. While the final payout is still up in the air, you could be entitled to up to $100. What is the lawsuit about? The lawsuit, Taylor V. Google LLC , alleges that Google was complicit in allowing Android devices to send a host of user data to Google without the permission of the users. Not only does the suit highlight the privacy implications, it also hammers Google for using up the users' cellular data. According to the details of the lawsuit, Google denies any wrongdoing in this case, but has agreed to settle for $135 million. As part of that settlement, Google will have to update the Play Store Terms of Service, as well as Android's setup screens, to disclose the data collection and offer users a choice whether or not to opt into it. The company will also disable a related setting on...
