Comments on: Beta 6: A Bridge to “Better” http://blog.passpack.com/2008/02/beta-6-a-bridge-to-better/ Passpack keeps your logins safe, organized and available 24/7. You can share passwords with your team in 100% privacy.

Yes it could be argued that you have to have 2 separate passwords in order to login, the account and the packing key, but it wouldn't hurt to incorporate a second factor like a hardware token or sms. I wouldn't suggest doing it for free but Paypal sell their random number generators for £3 so you might be able to do something similar. The two factor system is the only viable way to avoid keyloggers from compromising you, no av is perfect and you have to be logged in to generate disposable codes. As for the mobile version I'm not sure how that's going to work unless you make the device id the packing code, because tapping it in on a mobile will be excruciating! What do you think? Hi

Hopefully this feature is still planned? It is not absolutely required, but would be convenient in many cases. Also, it opens Passpack to immediate compatibility with other authentication mechanisms such as secure certificates or telephone based, which are offered by some OpenID providers. “We plan to accept OpenID in lieu of the User Id/Pass combination while logging in to PassPack.”

What it means is if you have 3 OpenIDs like blah.myopenid.com and blah.livejournal.com or blah.openid.yahoo.com you can associate all of them with your account. This has become pretty standard in OpenID authentication, which leads me to hope it will be available in PP as well ;) @Tara (feb. 14)-
