We’ve just made a number of performance enhancements to Passpack. Most are on the back-end so your account will appear as usual. One exception is the quick search in your Password tab. Previously the quick search would look up entries as you type. While quite fast for smaller accounts, it becomes sluggish on larger lists [...]

We’ve made a few minor updates and have realigned the functionality on both the Adobe AIR and Google Gears platforms. More importantly, a bug was fixed which was effected people who changed their [...]
When reviewing common requests for help coming through the Help Center, we discovered that certain words were tripping up Passpack newcomers. So we’ve been making some small changes. Here’s a quick rundown on the changed terminology. Pass became Password As you all know, Passpack accepts a User ID and pass phrase. When we first launch, [...]
Users with Explorer, or not a lot of RAM (or both, ack!) can run into speed issues with Passpack. So we’re experimenting with a new Turbo mode, using the Google Gears WorkerPool. Turbo mode uses Google Gears. It helps speed things up. (how to turn it on) Playing Right with Google Gears Ever since the [...]
When Passpack was still in beta, we had a no financial data clause in our Terms & Conditions. Once we released the first non-beta version of Passpack, we removed the limitation for Pro accounts. Now, we’ve completely removed the financial data limitation. There are no restrictions regarding financial information on free accounts. Some people noted [...]
Ok folks, it’s ready. The Passpack blog has now officially moved to http://blog.passpack.com – you may have to update your RSS feed as well. There are still a few of the most recent comments which need to be migrated over, but from now on, comments on passpack.wordpress.com are closed (I hope) and you may see [...]

December 12, 2008 marks the birthday of your favorite online password manager and mine – Passpack! We have come a long way in these 2 years and are planning to go much further… What if no one even notices us? What if they notice us, and HATE us? Does any of this sound familiar? If [...]
Did you know you can carry Passpack Offline Version around with you on your USB? You can. Thanks to Firefox portable, some feedback from a Passpack user, and a quick research on making Google Gears portable. Passpack Offline is built with Google Gears technology so you are (were : ) limited to using it only [...]
If you’ve upgraded to Adobe Air 1.5 recently and have tried saving new password entries to your Passpack Desktop, you may have encountered a few problems. We know this is an inconvenience to those of you who do want to upgrade Adobe Air — so we’re working on it. Thanks for your patience!
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!
