Italian startup Passpack is an online password manager. A web application to securely store your passwords.
With the release of Passpack 7 they introduced a lot of new cool features such as automatic saving, search, tags & filter. But the most important has surely been secure password sharing: you can now send your passwords to other passpack users without having to email or IM them.
A few days ago another great feature was released: bulk actions. You can now delete or share multiple entries with one click, awesome. But not enough..
At TechGarage I met Francesco Sullo, the founder of Passpack and he gave me a scoop: get ready for Minipacks.
As of now you can share passwords only with passpack users, so if they are not registered you actually have to call, email, IM them and get them to sign up. But what if someone is using other softwares?
With this release (due in one week approximately) you will be able to send out minipacks, completely secure and encrypted files containing your passwords, if the person you are sending the minipack to is not registered on passpack he will be able to import the file in any software after having inserted a password (you will have to call or email for this).
I think this is such a huge feature, it definitely needed a post. Can’t wait to see it live.
Here is a video if you’ve never heard of passpack
I can tell you spoke with Francesco: “minipacks” is our internal jargon for the release
But yes, you will be able to securely send passwords to people just by knowing their email. If they have a Passpack account – great, they can login and receive the passwords. If they don’t have an account already, they can follow the link in the email to create one and save the passwords into it, or export them for a different program.

Big thanks for the Passpack creators! It is truly an amazing feature. I have tried it few days ago and I am so happy about it. I want to say that Passpack is the best software I have ever seen. And now with those minipacks.. It is just unbelievably comfortable to manage all my passwords and to share them with my co-workers. I am looking forward to another great updates from the creators of this wonderful software.
