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

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.

Passpack Improvements

Yesterday’s big news was the free-for-now upgrade to premium accounts. Today let’s have a look at the other improvements made to the Passpack Beta 5.39.3 release.

Get Upgraded Free (for now)

We’ll be releasing the paid upgrades on PassPack accounts which will offer more space and more features. But, as of today, if you need more space – you can have it.

Email for Emergency Support Only

With the Beta5 release, Passpack started requiring an email. Users didn’t like this, so we’ve made a change (yes, we listen).

Bugfix Alert

On November 7th & 8th we had a few emails from people having problems saving their packs. They were getting a “Server error. Operation failed” alert. We have found and fixed the issue.
