I have a passpak account with one entry for one of my email addresses. How do I add other email addresses and the relevant pass words.

Thank you,
Yours sincerely

the latest release has made me lose my passwords repeatedly and it appears that the backup did not backup all the passwords.

Is there a way to do a mass import and set it NOT to sync with the site? Right now everytime I sync, it goes through and deletes a bunch of my password records.

Thanks.

Tara,

Adobe Air also have a pretty bad security history. The fresh vulnerability was discovered days ago: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/alerts/SA10-162A.html

It’s very good to have a desktop client, but I’d better stay away from any Air-based software. And CSV is enough for backup purposes. What I would really appreciate is 1Password integration with possibility to export (or even 2-way sync) selected passwords. Of course, it’s my .02 :)

Whatever, thank you for a great product.

Hi Victor-
Yes, our Google Gears version has been phased out. We have high hopes for HTML5, but for the time being – we’re sticking with AIR. It’s just a matter of not trying to juggle too many versions of the code at once.

Thanks!

heya,

You guys had a Google Gears version before. It’s a bit that got phased out (but then Google Gears was phased out by Google in favour of HTML5 anyway).

However, is there any word on whether they’ll be a new HTML5-spiffy version, using local storage?

That would be very cool – and like a few others here said, Air is a bit of a lumbering beast. Personally, I’m banking on it going the way of the dodo (that or a transformation), come HTML5′s increasing presence.

Cheers,
Victor

Igor, yes Air is pretty resource heavy – but it’s certainly worth it to have a copy of your backups. You don’t need to run it daily, just keep it on hand and sync-ed.

Should ever get stuck without access to your online account – you’ll be so happy to have a backup that you’ll likely not notice the extra CPU cycles. :)

Adobe Air? No, thanks. It’s a real CPU-hog thing.

Thanks David – glad to hear it!

Following the official release, we’ll also put out a version optimized for Adobe Air 2 (it’s much faster). All things in due time.
