Survey is closed and the results are in. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… Thanks!

Here are some highlights of the survey results:

• Over 50% of you say that PassPack is easy to use! - 8% of you said a little difficult and luckily 0% found it all around difficult. Not to worry 8% - the new layout of Beta 6 may just do the trick

• Speaking of layout…73% of you said the layout and the main page had just enough info. That’s important since it is ‘the main page’

• Tags seems to be pretty popular with 79% of you using them.

• Auto-login button is used by about 70% of you - 20% choose not to and…sniffle sniffle…about 4% want to use it but ‘don’t know how’ - so here’s how - now get clicking

• Over 90% use the Account/Security/Tools tabs. That makes us happy and gives us a clear indication that you are taking advantage of all the fun stuff PassPack has to offer

• The anti-phishing custom welcome message is a pretty popular item, with over 80% of you using it. Glad to see you guys practicing safe surfing

And the One That Put a Big Smile on Our Faces…

Your feedback was so appreciated that we were thinking of giving you all free accounts…Oh wait! They are already free… [wink]

About a month ago, we posted some Thoughts on Biometric Passwords. Yesterday, Kim Cameron’s Identity Weblog unveiled how vulnerable fingerprints are… in photographs.

It hit me that in the age of digital photography, a properly motivated photographer could probably find fingerprints on all kinds of surfaces, and capture them as expertly as Dale did. I realized it was no longer necessary to use special powder or inks or tape or whatever. Fingerprints have become a thing of “sousveillance”.

If you have not checked out Kim’s blog yet, but are interested in Digital Identity and the technology behind it, I highly recommend stopping by: http://www.identityblog.com/home.php/.

Can’t wait to get your hands on the new Beta 6 release? Here is your chance. Sorry, we’re all full already!

The comments and feedback that we got from the survey were great - they really helped us out a lot. To make Beta 6 as perfect as can be we’d love for some of you to actually test it. Show of hands?

How You’ve Helped Us Already

Your opinions really give us a sense of what user’s needs. Here are some of the changes you may notice - inspired by your feedback:

• Speed Speed Speed – a lot of you mentioned you’d like to see PassPack go quicker. Beta6 will give you the option of 3 levels of encryption speed and setting up favorites - so you the choice is yours!
• Tags - a good amount of users expressed how lonely the tags were all the way on the bottom, so we’ve moved them to the right – for your viewing convenience!
• Email Field – Beta6 has a new email field so you can easily recognize what email is associated to your entry.

There are plenty of other changes too. All of the work especially the improvements to Beta 6 speed, is paving the way for a lot more stuff - including mobile accessibility as well the much requested - sharing. As soon as we are ready to release it – you will be the first to know. I promise!

I’ll be chatting live with Dean & Jared, fun and friendly co-hosts of Words Cause radio show

April 26, 2008 @ 10AM Pacific [check your time zone].

The interview is part of a series dedicated to womentrepreneurs. I’m looking forward to a good time. We’ll be chatting about my background in design, PassPack (of course) and … the Pope? Here’s the rundown.

(No worries, if you can’t make the live show, you can subscribe to the archive via iTunes or RSS)

We’ve had a number of emails regarding the PassPack It! button being incompatible with the recent Firefox3 Beta 5 release.

Sorry, but we aren’t going to be able to fix this issue quite yet. In the past we’ve spent a lot of time trying to fix bugs in any given browser’s beta versions, only to find that they tend to fix themselves automatically once the final release is out.

Thanks for the patience, and sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.
