The biggest problem with the mobile version of Passpack is typing a long Packing Key. People often type the wrong one and have to repeat the process. That’s painful on a touchscreen keyboard. So, I have just released a solution that solves this problem: a 4 character PIN that substitutes your Packing Key. This PIN is device [...]
We’ve been using UserVoice for a while to manage user feedback. UserVoice is a great service to collect suggestions and ideas. It worked very well and now we know what is important for our users. But there are a lot of minor suggestions that are also important which remain without an answer. And, in many cases, people [...]
Today we’ve released two long awaited features: the ability to include tags along with the entry sharing and the ability to apply tags in bulk edit mode. As a background: when we first introduced tags, we had considered them as a personal way to organize your data. Technically the Tags data was encrypted separately from [...]
Today I discovered that in the Knowledge Base we suggest to have two Yubikeys so that if you loose one of them, you can continue to use the other. But Passpack didn’t support more than one Yubikey. Oops… So, today, I decided to fix the issue adding the support for a second Yubikey. I also [...]
Four weeks ago Kenneth Henderick contacted me because he wanted to build a Chrome extension to substitute the Passpack It! button, improving it. I really liked the idea, so we worked together a bit and I added some features to Passpack in order to provide him with what he needed to build UsePass. If you [...]
Are you tired of always seeing the same colors in your Passpack account? Or would you simply like a change? From today you can. We added the possibility to select a theme in ‘Settings > Appearance’. There are only three themes for now, but we can certainly add more as time goes on if you [...]
To make life easier on you folks who go to the Passpack homepage in order to get to the login screen, we’ve added a login form right there for you. We’re also testing a new home page design, so don’t be surprised if it looks different. Since Passpack is a service offered via the browser, [...]
As one of our third party login options, we allow users to access Passpack with their Gmail login. Until now this was done via IMAP, today that’s changed. Historically, we’ve had to change this feature a number of times. At first, it worked nicely, then Google made some changes. First we discontinued it, opting for [...]
Sunday night a slightly restyled Passpack rolled out, along with a new Passpack It! button improvement, and a bunch of other stuff under-the-hood. Restyling Perhaps the most visible of the changes. We’ve been steadily adding features for the past year without any re-designs, so we’re now working to declutter the interface a bit. Let in [...]
Continuing in our promise to keep delivering on Passpack Mobile, today we’ve rounded out the final features for Secure Messages. You now have complete control of your secure messages. Beyond the sending and receiving that was already available, you now also have the ability to reply-to a message, add it to your favorites, or delete it entirely. [...]
Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while. If nothing happens, we will fix the updates manually.
UPDATE, Jan. 29. The strategy worked because PayPal sent all the notification at one moment, and all the accounts have been upgraded correctly.
We completed the performance improvement of Passpack moving the static files on a new server. This improves also the general security because it is now much harder for an attacker to try to inject Javascript code.
Passpack has discontinued Google Gears support. It was used with slow browsers like Internet Explorer 6 or 7. If you use one of these browsers, probably your account will become really slow without Google Gears. We strongly suggest to upgrade to IE 9 or to a totally different browser like Chrome.
Follow-up to the last post, the billing system is completely functional again. Happy Tuesday!
