Thanks to Passpack user Tim Robertson (aka FunkJedi) two bug fixes were rolled out yesterday: a misplaced Chrome back button alert, and the IE6 non-secure items alert. Chrome Back Button Alert As you may know, you should not use your browser’s back button with Passpack, because at best you’ll get logged out and have to [...]
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 [...]
Passpack keeps all non-critical applications like the blog, help center and mail server on totally separate servers from the application. Yesterday this auxiliary server had DNS issues which resulted in difficulties posting comments, contacting the help center and a backlog of emails. The application itself was not effected as it is sandboxed separately, however the [...]

Passpack’s Secure Sharing has been a hit so far, but we’re not stopping now! We’ve rolled out a new bulk editing feature today. Bulk editing is in it’s earliest stages. So far we’ve activated the option to delete many entries at once (you’ve been asking for this for a while). Soon to follow will be [...]

Passpack [...] offers a more secure way than emails or Post-It Notes. One smart thing about this system is that as the [...]

Earlier today, you may have experienced spotty service or downtime. We sent out a quick notice while still working on resolving the issues. Passpack is now back up an running properly. As promised, here’s a follow up with some additional information. The issue – The database replication went into a loop, causing an excessive number [...]
Yes, I know, we changed the numbering. When we first came out of beta, we thought, “hey let’s call this 1.0.” But after some thought and two tweets, we’ve changed our minds. The next release will be Passpack 7. Let’s take a trip down memory lane with a look at the release history. Quick links: [...]
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!
