@zerode
Well, glad we’re *almost* there. :)

On saving more passwords, some online, some offline — you can do this with Passpack Desktop.

3 Ways to use Passpack Desktop

Hope that helps. We’ll keep working on syncing and making it two way.

Cheers!

The offline version makes this the (almost) complete password solution. The only thing missing now is size. While 100 entries is adequate for my daily surfing requirements, I would need substantially more before I could contemplate switching completely to PassPack. I’d also want the ability to have some entries offline only. And of course robust security guarantees for the syncing process.

@tom,
This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but I think it’ll interest you if you haven’t seen it yet:

Administer and Share Passwords Between Accounts

That’s an upcoming feature. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Tara

I wish I could have a master account put all those password there for my employees to use, to enter sites related to company but in a way that they could not unscramble the password and see it.

@Jase,
There will always be a free account.

After we come out of Beta, we will also offer (optional) paid upgrades that will add more storage space and more features. We want to keep pricing as low as possible – a few dollars a month.

Thanks for sharing your experiences in public hot spots. That is useful for everyone to read.

Cheers,
Tara

How long do you expect your product to be free (IOW, when will it come out of beta)?

Once you charge (and you should) can we expect a reasonable price?

I only use public wifi about 20 times a year, but I pay $100 a year for a VPN solution (HotSpotVPN). On one hand, it seems like a lot of $$$, but when one considers the ramifications of sniffed packets it suddenly seems like a bargain. Anyone who thinks that coffee shops, etc, aren’t sniffed out are fooling themselves. One of the guys I hang out with occasionally does it just because he can. Fortunately he is a very honest person (a christian youth pastor) and so he doesn’t snoop through the data, but he’s intrigued by the insecurity of it all. He’ll also get into people’s computers and leave a note on their desktop telling them that their machine was hacked and then telling them what they need to do to secure their machine. (I’ve watched him do this)

I can only imagine the panic they feel when they finally notice the text file.

Okay, enough rambling. Thanks for answering my question above.

Jase.
