How to Synchronize Passpack Desktop with Passpack.com

{"kbcat":23,"kbsez":["tool","sync"],"kbpar":1}

To sync your Passpack Desktop with your Passpack.com account, choose Tools > Sync with Passpack.com from within your Passpack Desktop and follow the on screen instructions.

Synchronization is bi-directional. Any changes made online can sync down to our Passpack Desktop account. Generally, the entry data can be synchronized from Passpack Desktop “up” to Passpack.com. However there are three exceptions for Desktop -> Online sync:

  • Whether or not the entry is a favorite
    This is pretty useful since you usually have a totally different set favorites on the desktop as opposed to online. If you have set up your favorites separately on the two platforms, you might also want to deselect the favorites checkbox  under Tools > Sync with Passpack.com to keep them from being overwritten during a synchronization.
  • The entry tags
    Passpack entries, and Passpack tags use two completely different databases – so this is a technical limitation, at least for the foreseeable future. Again, if you have set up your tags separately on the two platforms, deselect the tags checkbox  under Tools > Sync with Passpack.com.
  • Deleted entries
    This is mostly a precaution. If you want to permanently delete entries from your Passpack.com account, you must do that from your online account (how to). In other words... if you delete an entry from Passpack Desktop - but not from Passpack.com - the synchronization process will plop it right back into your Desktop account.

In order for synchronization to work, you must have the same User ID, Password and Packing Key both at Passpack.com and on Passpack Desktop.
