The new Adobe AIR damages the Passpack Desktop’s Local Storage

Aug. 24, 2012

Your attention, please.

The new Adobe AIR, on some Operating Systems, resets the Encrypted Local Storage where the local Passpack Desktop data are stored. So, please, before upgrading to the new Adobe AIR, do a backup of your local data from “tools > backup” so that, if the data will be lost after the upgrading, you can restore it.

If your data is lost, the only way to recover it is to restore the status of your operating system to a restore point before the upgrade to the last Adobe AIR. Some users were able to recover all the data this way. After recovering the data, please, backup the entries before upgrade again and restore the entries after restarting the account.

Added the support for a second Yubikey

Jun. 1, 2011

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 [...]

Passpack is not LastPass. We Have a Big Friend

May. 24, 2011

A few weeks ago LastPass had a serious breach of data. I don’t like to talk about the competitors, but this unlucky event generated a lot of articles, concern and fear. It also caused an increase in emails from Passpack users who are seriously concerned about their security and want to understand if what has happened to [...]

Apr. 29, 2011

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 [...]

Why Masked Passwords Are a Serious Security Hole

Apr. 13, 2011

Time after time, there are users that ask for the possibility to share “masked passwords” with other people. What is a “masked password”? It is something that you share with another user in a way that allows him to use it (for example for autologin) without actually seeing the password itself. When I respond that [...]

Why we didn’t respond to your requests

Mar. 12, 2011

Yesterday night, I discovered a bug in our support system. In a few words, the system didn’t read some users’ messages from the dedicated mailbox. Not all the messages, unfortunately, just some. Because some were arriving, everything seemed to be properly working. Recently, I had noticed that I had asked some users for more details, [...]
