Wow, this was a huge surprise, wasn’t expecting it to be released so quickly.

However, I would like an offline version that I can just pop onto my USB flash drive, and take it with me wherever I go, and use it on any PC without the need for 3rd party tools/software (Google Gears).

I do realize that this is the first release, and I’m looking forward to future releases.

Thanks.

@Sauron
That’s why I adore you guys… you keep us on our toes! ;) But yes, it was fast – Gears cut back significantly on development time.

@David
No worries, your vote for a non-Gears version counts, no need to think up a justification :)

Hi Tom,
Yes there is. The offline version downloads a copy of your account, so it has the same characteristics as your online account does.

Having divergent sizes would making synchronizing the two very hard. That may not seem like much of an issue now, but once we roll out the sync functions, it’ll become pretty important.

@Raz
Until we get the version with synchronization released (it’s coming…), you can make a backup of your online data, and use restore to get it into your offline version.

For even faster results, you can export your online data, then copy and paste it into your offline import tool. Only do this if you’re on a trusted computer.

Let me know if you need more info.

@sciencebase
ok, vote recorded :)

On a fully fledged OS: yes, my bet is that’s where Google is heading – an online/offline OS, fully functioning, but lightweight enough to run on say… oh… the phantasmagorical Gphone?

This is, of course, pure speculation on my part. But it would be really neat.

I’d really like a link inside the password manager to the offline version (a download link).

I run Win XP SP2, IE7 and Sun Java script. When I try to run the offline version it always comes up and says Java Script is required. For some reason Java is not started automatically when called. Any suggestions, please?

Hi Tara, Sorry I was saving time in typing by just using the word Java. Yes, PassBack (online version) works great! No problem at all.

Does the offline version update/sync tags? When I change an entry’s tag online, then do a sync on the offline version, the tag doesn’t update to the new one, it stays as the old one.

Am I doing something wrong or is this expected?

@TB: No, for the time being tags are not synchronized. We did this to allow users a separate management of the information between the offline and the online versions.
Example: if a user had 20 passwords in the offline version, 10 of which are also in the online version and he decided to use different tags between the two accounts, trying to align the tags would mess everything up. So for now, till we make the system “smarter” we prefer not to align the tags. Sorry if that created some confusion.
