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 [...]
Ok, so yes, we’ve caught the Google Chrome fever here at Passpack HQ – it’s a beaut, and Passpack runs like a dream! I suppose that should come as no surprise, as Chrome is built for speed with Apple’s WebKit in the core (among others). We ran a browser encryption speed benchmark some time ago, [...]

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.

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!
