PassPack for online password management

Posted by dvanarsd on April 22, 2008

PassPack bills itself as a free online password manager.

“Think of it as a password manager, automatic login and personal vault all in one. With PassPack you can quickly login to websites, as well as organize and store logins and private notes. Save up to 100 entries for free!”

Can PassPack read my passwords? Not even if we wanted to. It’s not possible. PassPack stores your locked pack for you without knowing what’s inside. PassPack can not unlock your private data. Only you can, with your Packing Key.

Is PassPack just for passwords? It’s your account, use it for whatever you want: Frequent Flyer miles, registration numbers, travel plans, notes, or even just links that you’d like to keep private (please, no financial data). You can find more examples in our ideas page.

Is PassPack portable? PassPack follows you everywhere. It’s available 24/7 via internet. You can access your passwords from home, from work, at the library, or anywhere else. There is nothing to install, and no USB keychain needed.

As always, use such services at your own risk, but it might be useful to have access to your information from anyplace you can access the Internet.
