While we work on the upcoming mobile release, I thought I’d reach out and ask for your thoughts on a few other ideas from the suggestions forum. Like ‘em? Vote ‘em! Pre-populated Accounts Having a hard time getting staff on-board? This idea is for creating shared accounts for them, from inside your paid administrators account. [...]
It’s here at last, you’ve been asking for it and we finally managed to get it up and running: Who’s next? So how will it all work? Good question, I’ll try and guide you through the first steps and general process. If you have any one of these accounts you can sign up with Passpack [...]
Happy September everyone! Last week we threw around some ideas on which OpenID providers to accept and more importantly which not to accept. There was a ton of feedback (thank you!) and in the end we decided that instead of a “whitelist”, the Sign In page will display icons of OpenID providers which work well [...]
We previously mentioned our thoughts on Passpack and OpenID. The feedback was almost unanimous. You as users all seemed to be opposed to the idea of having a Passpack whitelitst for OpenID providers. Just for clarity’s sake, the idea only came into our heads because we were trying to keep consistent with level of security [...]

We have linked to a few of the common threats OpenID poses and will talk more about them in the future. Now, I’d like to address one in particular, which has inspired this post and brought up a very important issue regarding Passpack’s support of OpenID.

You heard it straight from the horse’s mouth. OpenID In A Nutshell OpenID is an open source authentication system which allows websites [...]
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!
