PassPack: Online Account Manager
There is an old saying: “The Early Bird Gets The Worm” and it is right. I had the idea for an online account manager a while ago, but due to lack of time, I was unable to complete it. However, PassPack is a top quality application even though it is in beta still.

It allows you to add in account names with a username, scrambled password, url, notes and tags. Right now, I am not adding my passwords into the system even though it is secure. I want to test it out and get more people using it before I trust it to hold all of my passwords. I feel that since many people have more and more accounts online that are different usernames and passwords that this is the best way to keep track of them.
The best feature that they have is that not only do you have a password to get into your account, but you can pack the data and lock it and then the only way to release the information is with a packing key that you provide which is an added layer of security. They also give you the ability to scramble your password after you type it so that when you go to look at your information later, the password field can be scrambled it you chose to do it. The first time you add in all of your accounts, it will take a while because you need to remember all of them but they have an import tool that you can use that will help you to get started if it is in a CSV file.
The main reason why I was thinking about an application like this is because I needed it and nessecity is the mother of all inventions. Keep up the good work PassPack!

Hello Timothy,
I think sometimes ideas are just in the air. When we launched back in December, at least three other Online Password Managers popped up more or less at the same time. It was a hard blow, but we were so far along already that we went forward anyway. I’m glad you like the results.
You’re a developer, so you know how much blood, sweat and tears are going into this project. Thanks for the kind words, they’re much appreciated
Cheers to you, I’ll be in touch,
Tara

Hi Timothy,
Tara is right: we had the same idea almost at the same time.
Clipperz launched few days ago, and I would be really honored to know your impressions. Any comment, criticism or suggestion is welcome!
Best regards,
Marco
