When you login to Passpack via the Gmail third party login, Passpack uses IMAP to ping your account and authenticate you. No email is read, just a ping to authenticate you. Alas, this is a feature is causing panic with Gmail’s ”Suspicious Activity” alerts. So we’ll be removing it as an option in the near future. Read [...]
Today a new upgrade to the automatic recovery system is going up. This is an extension of the work we did in April to tighten control on handling corrupted entries. Since the April update, our database is showing no new entries have been corrupted. While corrupted entries are rare (0.03%), we’re happy it’s become even rarer. This [...]

An update for those who use Twitter’s authentication to sign into Passpack. We’ve now upgraded to Twitter’s OAuth authentication method. In the past, when signing into Passpack via Twitter, you were asked you to supply your Twitter username or email and password during sign in.

Glamour Italy just printed a piece on Italian tech founders, and guess who got printed in full-page, full-color splendor… You guessed it, that’s Passpack’s very own CTO Francesco Sullo looking very suave and Magritte-esque. Notice co-founder Tara Kelly (me) is down there in the corner looking cranky for having been upstaged [wink]. And on TV… [...]

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!
