Private Passwords

I’m proud to announce version 0.7.0 has now been released, introducing new features and fixes, to name a few:

• New Feature! Business accounts have “view audit” button for passwords
• New Feature! Added customisable fields and a templating engine
• Fixed the broken help link on mobile site
• Fixed a bug editing/deleting permissions on business accounts
• Fixed massive favicons bug on password list on browsers that support background-size CSS
• Other bug fixes and minor enhancements

Ouch, so looks like I haven’t updated this blog in yonks. Despite the lack of blog activity, I’ve actually been chipping away at the behemoth list of stuff I want to put into Private Passwords. I suppose I should give you an idea of all the stuff that’s happened all the way from v0.3.0 (over a year ago!) to the current version, 0.6.1…

New features (all users)

Implemented 3D code (extra secure verification), improved the My Account look & feel, added invites system, fixed bug where HTTPS was not always on, added meta viewport for mobile devices, added protection against Cross Site Request Forgeries, new shiny logo, migrated issue system from Trac to CodebaseHQ, go straight to password when there is only one search result, added Windows Phone 7 to user agents for mobile detection, new favicon, and numerous bug fixes.

New features (business users)

Fixed error disabling a user when already disabled, added basic LDAP authentication support, improvements to interface for LDAP mode, CSV importer for businesses, and numerous bug fixes.

We’re already planning stuff for the 0.7.0 roadmap and gaining traction. Hopefully this app will become useful to some people in the near(ish) future. I will try to update the blog more often

If you read through the list of stuff, you’ll see I added an invites system, which means yes, a sort of private beta is going on. If you would like to take part in the private beta, please e-mail support@privatepasswords.co.uk for an invite!

We’ve made a few minor changes and upped the version to 0.3.0!

• Try to automatically send us your username if you’ve forgotten your username
• Added “View” link on folder management to view the folder
• Made link to mobile internet version work, even when not on a supported phone
• Added optional password count on folders list
• If you try to register when logged in, we redirect you to homepage
• Added support for Windows Live bookmarklet login
• Some minor bug fixes with bookmarklet login

OK so last post (which was some time ago!) we said we’d release the public beta yet, but unfortunately we still can’t afford the signed SSL certificate we want to get. However, we’ve still been adding new stuff and doing some fixes. The biggest change is our new bookmarklet which will allow you to log on to websites with one click! Shiny…

Anyway, a few more of our changes are:

• Added “Memorable Data” encrypted field
• Fixed an issue with search where searching for nothing would return all your passwords (!)
• Added curved borders for browsers that support it (not Internet Explorer…)
• Added auto-complete bookmarklet
• Update the notice which displays which fields are encrypted
• Added an invites system so you can invite up to 5 new people
• Fixed a display issue with notes field
• Various other back end tweaks

The latest release of Private Passwords is now out, and at the moment we are planning for this to be the last release before the public beta version.

Version 0.1.7 includes these changes:

• Move to/Copy to folder
• Password strength meter
• Changed home page HTML to be more semantically correct for non-CSS browsers
• Started adding more help files (we have made an a help file CMS to make it easy for us to maintain this now!)
• Made the “No” button on delete pages really big, and the “Yes” button really small
• Fixed bug in Google Chrome where menu items were wrapping round
• Added “Cancel” links to pages to cancel editing

Some of the planned changes to be implemented before the next release:

• More help content
• Better form validation
• Audit trail alerts
• Change account e-mail address or deactivate accounts
• More improvements to favicon fetching
• Add favourites to mobile version of Private Passwords
• OpenSearch search plug-in
• A few more
