PP actually is more vulnerable in my use case study. Or I can always remove my login bookmark after using PP, that is a huge hassle.

Mashed life doesn’t have that problem at all. So my conclusion is that Mashed life is more secure, and much easier to use.

My 2 cents, hope that helps

And everyone knows you pay $30K then you can get your product covered by PC Mag. So go back to complain on your PC magazine.

TechCrunch is neutral, you can’t BUY it. Understand? The world has changed totally from your time.

Why nobody cares to mention/discuss this fun innovation?! I absolute hate today’s captua that makes my eyes sore and hands hurt.

Thanks a whole LOT

One example is that…

Today I found by surprise that I can eat my burger breakfast, at the same time use just one finger to log in to any of my sites to view my emails & stock accts. This is something impossible for me to do before when typing my long & weird passwords.

The experience is great, just like shifting from manual to automatic gear transmission. I got one free hand to do other things I want to.

I mean if it can be deployed on a private VPN such as mycorp.mashedlife.com, then the trust & privacy & security issues are basically gone. This site is only visible to me and my contractors scattered everywhere.

Before I used a Google shared doc to share all login accounts I shared with my contractors for them to do their work.

For privacy concerns, then I moved to use an enterprise wiki page to store all my usernames/passwords to those working sites.

But they are all very awkward, very time consuming, very risky since every time I change a contractor, I need to change > 20 passwords to all my working sites.
And the wiki tools are not meant for password management anyway.

All the password managers are not very usable, not corporate friendly. Until I found the sharing feature here, that’s exactly what I want. If it can be deployed on a VPN network, I’ll pay to use it!

Any plan to start a corporate mashed life on a private VPN?

Kudos!

But I think the most impressive thing is not 1-click login techniques but their adoption of Yubikey. Yubikey is a true innovation for trust of the net and all services on the web which makes my eyes wide open.

I’ve been thinking about building such as service myslef since my number of passwords explodes beyond my contro. But now it is there. I’m totally bought by it!

Mashed life is indeed, as the author says, just works, solves a real daily problem I’ve been facing, and incredibly simple, very fast and reliable so far.

Their support team is also responsive to my questions and concerns.

2 thumbs up, oh, no no no. 4 thumbs up! With my toes!

As a networking guy in Cisco, I have a lot of tools to probe a web site’s infrastructure….

So I found Mashed life is a very serious in terms of their networking infrastructure, much better than any others you mentioned here.

My rough estimate is that Mashed spends 3 times more money than all others in their data center.

That’s the place to spend money for a start-up, they spend money on the right thing to deliver the better services to users.

I watch what people deliver rather than what they say. You better buy Cisco equipments to beef up and to protect your web site (just kidding, small ad).

Especially when I start using it from my Facebook & iPhone! I can’t live without it any more.

The only problem is that their business model is not convincing. I do hope mashedlife guys can survive the recession and don’t stop the key to my web 2.0 lives.

Maybe you can start asking for donations, from me and from vCs. I don’t mind putting in $10 for it since I use you several times a day.

Today’s vCs are much less venturous and a lot more Capitalists.

My sincere best wishes & luck to this venture!

I didn’t hurry to comment until I tried it for 10 days before making my comment below on Sep 30.

First, be open-minded on the web! Don’t make yourself a jerk.

To be fair to all, I really think Mashedlife is much more innovative in their marketing message and they know EXACTLY WHAT I NEED. That means a lot of marketing surveys and homework they did. And Bookmarklet is just 1 among their 10 major features (in http://mashedli...com//dream2.php)

Be open minded, that will do you more good.

This is one of the best articles I read this month.

Keep the good work!

I bought a Yubikey to use Mash after reading your article 10 days ago. What a brilliant gadget it is!

By using Yubikey + ML I haven’t typed any passwords or even bother to open up the browser for days.

If ML can integrate with Roboform I have many accounts stored, that will be my perfect dream!

Many thanks for this article!

You should tame your panic reactions which strongly
indicate how unconfident you are with Passpack. That
reminds me of the old guy in the Presidential debate.

Your image & focus win your fans in the old-fashioned
conservative crowd.

Mash life is catering the web 2.0 Obama crowd.

I really like both Mash life and Passpack and think
about investing in either of you, or merge you two
corps which are complimentary in your features and user
base. I expect in 2 years you will get acquired by Google
or Symantec or VeriSign which all dream about such an innovative
way to harness user identity management.

But if you lose focus on the audience that like you and
try to mimic Mash life, you will get nowhere.

Best Regards

Is the bookmark login technique easy to copy? Can you guys shed some light about where can I get some samples?

My company MetaPass, doing enterprise single sign-on, can defenitely learn a chatper fro you web 2.0 guys.

Many thanks for this article!

TechCrunch, as its name suggests, is a place for exchange of tech ideas. If you have bitter legal complaints, please, please go straight to the court room.

I find I’m wasting time reading your accusational comment threads here. That’s quite non-TechCrunch.

Go find a legal form to vent your comments and seek for legal advice there.

You don’t belong here.

Thanks

Yes California is full of pirates, starting from Steve Jobs taking the Xerox GUI idea and make Apple. And we are VERY proud of it. So what? It DOESN’T MATTER as long as you have a strategy of what you do! iPod is not the 1st mp3 player, iPhone is not the first phone of its kind, either.

I DON’T BELIEVE TechCrunch is biased like you said otherwise it won’t be what it is today, you guys won’t even care to leave a comment here or even visiting it at all.

Should you reflect that Rome & Italy are famous for Mafia and Farcists and pickpockets and that’s probably why Italy can never have a good site like TechCrunch.

Does that simply defines how narrow-minded a Passpack supporter is?

Also I tried Passpack during the weekend but I gave up in the sign-up process, which is giving me more troubles than convenience.

I don’t see the copycat argument here. Mashed life’s iPhone and Direct Login are innovative to me that I don’t see elsewhere. Facebook part, I’m not sure why they don’t use Facebook Connect.

And the “Sharing” feature is truly unique and very useful for me. And I’m sure other password managers will start copying these innovations from mashed life.

Any way, good job! Mashed and Passpack guys, you will find your fans I believe. The web is too big a world that you should not worry about competition or copycat for now. Eventually when you are as big as Google and Yahoo then eventually you will find overlapping and competing.

Even Google didn’t complain Yahoo copying its Ajax Map, did them?

My advice – Focus on giving users better services! And start to think about how to make money.
