Hi!

First off, I commend you for this fantastic service. I've tried a
number of different password solutions, but none were particularly
satisfactory. This one seems to fit the bill quite well.

Anyways, I've tried adding all my logins to Clipperz, and so far I've
gotten all but one to work: My jott account (http://jott.com). It
grabs the login info correctly, but the direct login fails silently.
This means I can still manually cut and paste my login info and get in
that way, but it would be nice to get the direct login to work here
too.

Unrelated question: I suppose using OpenID to access my Clipperz
passwords would violate the zero-knowledge mantra you have? I believe
that OpenID is on track for presenting a solution to the password
fatigue problem. However, many sites still do not support OpenID, so
Clipperz offers a good solution for such sites. Logging into Clipperz
with my OpenID would be icing on the cake. :)

Cheers,
Toby

Thank you very much for your preise.

Why not just logging into your OpenID provider with Clipperz?! :-)

The deal is not much about "zero-knowledge", but that you need to
provide the Clipperz application your passphrase anyhow. And if
Clipperz was an OpenID relier, we would have to ask the user the
passphrase anyway; given this fact, we opted to stay clear of OpenID,
and provide a consistent experience to the user.

Best regards,
