[...] Pour rappel, Clipperz se repose sur la notoriété de tous les cryptages reconnus et sur l’ouverture de leur code source afin de prouver la sécurisation de leurs systèmes. J’ai réalisé il y a un petit bout de temps, un comparatif des outils en ligne de stockage de mots de passes que vous pouvez trouver ici (en anglais) : Clipperz and PassPack : Online password storage is still a fear [...]

Hi, just a warning about proxies.
A lot of web proxies are born and die every day. They are a common way for malicious programmers to capture all the traffic of users in order to make bad use of it.
So never use a proxy to connect to critical sites.
Ciao,
Francesco

Hello Emmanuel,
Thank you - that’s great feedback. You are absolutely right about us needing help documents! We are writing the first ones now with the help of kind user. Once they are ready, maybe your sister can try PassPack too.

And we need to prove our web app is secure… ok, we’ll try and make that more clear. Where do you think this should be done? In the blog, or while using the application?

Thanks and cheers,
Tara

[...] solutions look very similar …” . Additionally, a few articles have recently popped up comparing Clipperz as a new competitor for PassPack. So far, it’s been very exciting to see this discussion [...]

@Marco Barulli,

When I added a new card, and then tried to add a simple password. After adding my password just do a CTRL+A (select all) on the stars that hide the password and we can clearly see the password, this is a basic security issue. In PassPack the password is never shown. But you have an advantage on PassPack it’s in your philosophy (openning source code and distribute your crypto functions with a BSD Licence) and your GUI is cool (it’s more graphic stupid notice but important). Be careful for the understanding with “card”. And finally, isn’t it another source of dismay for the users to know that crypto functions are put at the disposal of all? Very delicate subject.

@Tara,

What Clipperz want to communicate is more the security. You both don’t play with the same cards (french quote :)). Clipperz try the security/psychological card and you try to convince advanced user (like me) who are more confident on what you did and addind new huge cool features. When I say Clipperz is more user friendly, it’s maybe by colors, less help on how to use those type of online password storage application (my sister know to log into GMail but with PassPack she’s lost and Clipperz she’s gonna read all help before understand how to use it) and maybe a design monotony.
Personally, I really don’t care. I prefer like, I said, more features and when it’s more user friendly, that’s why I choose your webapp, I left my Keepass software :p. It’s only my advice for novice users. That’s why I compare you both.
Furthermore, you need to prove that your webapp is secure.

It’s the beginning ! And I trust it will be recognized by others novices.

If you need a French translation…
