I'll see if we can't add some FAQs or links to the Signup page. On filling the history -- Passpack manages data directly in the browser. Without this trick, should you use the back button while logged in, it'd be the equivalent of logging out. Thus, we added some "cushion" so that wouldn't happen to folks. This is also why generally try and open the Signup / Signin in a separate tab or window, so that it doesn't mess with your main browsing history. @Eddie

Being an on online privacy manager, I am not sure where Passpack would fit in to Open Social.
But we are actually interested in microformats and are working on defining certain microformat standards. Thanks for the comment.

Take for example passwords (since this is Passpack!), how would my family access the various online facilities, such as the phone account, utilities and even family banking if I were incapacitated tomorrow? They would struggle! and I am sure that most families would be in the same position. The 'Circle of Trust' principle overcomes this by being able to delegate access to another trusted family member, without resorting to writing them down - which is of course a security weakness.
