Passpack’s auto-login was introduced so far back into time that it’s hard to remember when it wasn’t there (just think – the first version didn’t even have 1 click login!). Now it’s time for an overhaul – and that’s what we’re working on right now.
The login and training failure rate when we first began was very low. Alas, it’s been growing, and now we can’t keep up with the requests coming through the help center for broken links. [oh boy that's trouble!]
So we’re upgrading the button. While we’re at it, here are some features that we’re building into the new version:
- Overhauling the Javascript which powers the button.
- Quick copy/paste options when a login fails
- Automatic reporting of broken auto-login URLs
- Double-click to add a Passpack entry directly from a registration page.
Will it Still Be Host-Proof Hosting?
Yes, yes, yes! The architecture remains the some same, we’re just rewriting the bricks.
What About a Plugin?
Following these improvements to the Auto-login, we’ll be working on a solution that’ll allow auto-login without having to open to the Passpack website everyday. That may or may not take the form of a browser plugin or toolbar. So stay tuned.

Nice improvements. One thing, there’s a typo at: “Yes, yes, yes! The architecture remains the !!!SAME!!, we’re just rewriting the bricks.”
Thank you – fixed. Typos are my specialty.
awesome i cant wait to see it, ill kept my fingers cross to see a browser plugin
Sounds wonderful!
auto-login is foiled by multi-page login or when the site changes the login url. I’ve seen it work with DHTML login widgets but that might be another obstacle for some markup.
Security questions are another obstacle.
That auto-login plugin would be the best thing ever.
