    Hi Robert, this got me excited, but there are a lot of negative reviews centering on privacy/ phishing issues. I'm sufficiently put off to not entrust my info to them.

    I heard Pageonce was a major security risk. What are your thoughts?
  • technacea · 1 year ago
    And how does it compare to Memengo Wallet? Any security experts out there that can weigh in?

    Wow, just like the old days when you could come to this site and actually see new posts! :) Nice.

    David: well, you do need to put your bank passwords into it. That requires a lot of trust that a lot of people won't have. Also, if you lose your iPhone people could have access to your bank account info before you are able to change the passwords on all your accounts.

    Dawn: sorry, I'm trying to tone down the FriendFeed work I've been doing.

    I would like to use these sites, but the fact that have all my passwords scare me too much. I'll probably just use the portable Keepass.

    Hey Rob,



    Did you get that question i commented you with yesterday?
  • Milos · 1 year ago
    How are connections between the iPhone app and servers established...SSL, TLS...?
  • Oliver · 1 year ago
    I tend to use different passwords for different important sites for a reason. Trusting them all to a startup service thus doesn't seem like the right thing for the sake of convenience.

    Besides, a lot of my financial accounts nowadays use additional authentication verification mechanisms beyond a mere userid/password combo and thus likely wouldn't work anyway.

    How about someone create an open source version that I can run on my own machine, so there is no need to store the passwords on a 3rd party system somewhere in the cloud? (open source, of course, so I can review the code to make sure it doesn't phone home).

    Yah... what that scoble guy said! What a rock star. By the way.... he's probably the only guy that could tell you the name of PCI / PCMCIA webcam company that was partly owned by Sean Connery.

    It might be nice, except that it would be tempting to check them ALL the time. I find that once a week for handling my budget and bank balance works just fine.

    Just hearing about this app makes me want to get rid of my LG Dare and switch to at&t for an iPhone!

    Shawn: where did you send the question to? Please send it to scobleizer@gmail.com thanks!
  • Social Media Marketing Blog · 1 year ago
    well, I agree.. there are so many security risks attached, what do you think about them?

    @technacea

    Looks like I'm late to the party, but I'll answer anyway:

    Memengo Wallet only stores the passwords, it doesn't use them to access other web sites or anything. In fact it could never use them as passwords are encrypted before they are sent to the Memengo.com Web site (this encryption layer is actually the selling point).
