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 [...]
Yesterday (Nov. 5) we received a bunch of emails about problems with the Buy Now button when trying to upgrade their accounts to Passpack Pro. It seems that when users clicked on the button, they weren’t able to make a purchase. What Happened Before releasing Pro to the public, we ran all of our own [...]
Corks are popping here at Passpack HQ! We’re officially out of Beta and we now have Passpack 1.0. Passpack 6 with the first paid upgrade available: Pro. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: there will always be a free version of Passpack, and that version is more than plenty for most users. [...]
Donato is a sucker for all things Web 2.0 and innovation, so when a few interesting conferences caught his eye, we couldn’t help but get him a ticket to Web 2.0 Expo Berlin. Our Passpack socialite-to-be wants to make the most of his time in the German capital and meet any Web 2.0-ers who may [...]
Passpack is getting ready to leave Beta. Amazing, but true. It’s taken a while (lawyers be darned!) but within a week or so the first few days of November, we’ll be releasing Passpack 1.0 together with our first paid upgrade “Pro”. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Free-For-Now Becomes Free-Forever I’d like [...]

Redefining Privacy How much information do you [...]
We were just contacted by a research group formed by Ben Adida at Harvard University, Adam Barth at Berkeley University and Collin Jackson at Stanford University. They alerted us of a security issue concerning the Passpack It! button (aka 1Click Login bookmarklet). We fixed it immediately. How the issue was discovered — The three researchers [...]
Online Identity is a topic close to my heart. Passwords may be directly related to authentication — but Passpack’s relationship with Online Identity runs deeper than that. Let me share with you our ultimate vision for Passpack: in our personal lives, we all have public and private spheres. The latter is completely missing in our [...]
We’ve been talking about the upcoming messaging release lately, but one thing that has apparently dropped off the radar is the 3rd Party Login integration with either Twitter or Friendfeed. In the end, we decided to do both. They’ll be released at the same time as messaging. Welcome Aboard Twitterverse! Google lovers can use their [...]
We may have surprised a few of our users yesterday with the announcement of one of our next releases – Passpack Messaging. Do you want to test it? Leave a comment, or send an email to Tara. We’d love to hear your feedback. And in the meantime – here are a few ideas on how [...]
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!
