techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-10-02 14:04:00

Dutch e-bike startup VanMoof is back two years after bankruptcy with its first model designed under new leadership. And despite past criticism that VanMoof’s over-reliance on custom parts led to the company’s downfall, the S6 sticks to the brand’s signature bespoke design. Today, VanMoof is betting that higher-quality custom parts, alongside a more robust servicing network, will allow it to stay true to its design-forward, tech-heavy core, while avoiding the repair and servicing pitfalls that c

Like it or not, passwords aren’t going away anytime soon. While many organizations are exploring passwordless authentication, passwords still serve as the main line of defense for most public-facing online services. That said, they come with a heavy management burden. Gartner estimates that 40% of all service desk calls are tied to password issues like expirations, changes, and resets.
