Some months ago we stopped the full support of Gmail authentication to Passpack. Yesterday I was reading the post announcing it, and I had an idea.
Google requires you to configure your account in order to allow the access to the mailbox from external tools. However, yesterday I decided to try and simply authenticate via IMAP [...]

There are a lot of USB drives aimed at improving login security. The Yubikey is my favorite. It is compact and smart, and now you can use it to sign in Passpack.
Tara met Stina Ehrensvärd, CEO & Founder of Yubico, during Red Herring’s ETRE 2008, in Stockolm. In that occasion, Stina gave a Yubikey to [...]
While Americans were feasting on turkey and stuffing yesterday*, Francesco was back in Italy putting the final touches on the next release: Two Factor Authentication.
This is a first roll-out using a one time code which will be sent to you via email during sign in to your Passpack account. You can choose the email you’d [...]
As you probably know, two days ago a user alerted us about an issue with the access via Google/Gmail procedure.
We temporarily sidestepped the problem avoiding the creation of new accounts via Google/Gmail, and immediately after this, started to work on the support of Google Friend Connect.
It was a bit complicated because Google Friend Connect doesn’t support [...]
This morning a smart user alerted me about a security issue in using Google/Gmail to access to the Passpack account.
I analyzed it and I discovered that Google has changed how Gmail authentication works, causing the library we use to fail. As result of this, we are preparing to support Google Friend Connect. In the meantime, [...]
Happy Autumn! We sweat our way through the end-of summer heat and just rolled out a series of little fixes, features and tricks.
More Auto-login Improvements
We’ve managed to nearly complete the browsers compatibility list. After the last release, a few users were concerned that the Passpack popup was being blocked by NoScript. Francesco and Giorgio Maone [...]
The Auto-login 2.0 release is going well so far. But we’ve found some special cases when you might prefer version 1.0. So we have added the option to switch between versions.
When Would This Be Useful?
First case. The new Passpack It! button works well on Firefox 3+. However certain plugins, for example NoScript, may cause it [...]
We’ve added uber-improved 1 Click Login performance. Plus double click to get a full service pop-up menu: train websites, send feedback, copy/paste and… (we really like this one) … add an entry to your Passpack account directly from any website.
If you already have a Passpack account, you need to reinstall your button. Here’s how. Check [...]
Passpack Desktop 2.0 beta3 ready – http://bit.ly/8lkA4M
Just fixed a bug, the People and Messages tabs were freezing. Should work OK now. Thanks to users for the heads up!
Updating servers for the next 20 minutes. Service may be spotty or read only. If you can’t save changes, wait and try again later.
UPDATE: Complete. Thanks for your patience!
Passpack It! button tip: if you can’t train a site, double-click your button and use the Feedback tab. It’ll be queued for fixing.
Ok folks, as promised, it’s almost here. And, as always, we’re letting some lucky people get a sneak peek in exchange for running it through the wringer for us. Get on the tester’s list. Tester list is full, sorry.
