7Pass 3.3 is now available on MarketPlace globally, with these changes:

• Fixed WebDAV bug.

• Fixed global pass not displayed on app switch.

• Added field editing and asterisks support.

• Fixed protected field textbox display in light theme.

This is the same version as 7Pass 3.3 Beta 2. Thanks again to beta testers for trying out our beta. The beta version will soon be retired.

Plan for next 7Pass version:

• SkyDrive support. I know, it supposed to be in this release, but my progress was not as expected, and partially because the Live Connect SDK that SkyDrive support depends on is not allowed to be used for production yet.
• German localization, which is also supposed to be in 3.3. I’ll try my best to have this in next version.
• Attachment view (text file and image). I’m not sure if I can support PDF and MS Office files. PDF will definately has an issue with security due to the Adobe PDF ready on WP7 will save the document in its cache, which can be seen again by launching Adobe PDF Viewer directly.

Update:

I can confirm that the 7Pass Trial/Paid version is being wrongly named 7Pass Free. I’m sorry about this mistake. Even though the name is incorrect, it will work just right. Unfortunately, an fix for this naming issue will take sometime as the AppHub is pretty slow to process submissions at the moment (understandable: it’s holiday time in the US).

7Pass has been using collecting usage data for sometime. However, only since 7Pass 3.2 that the data is really refined and became more meaningful.

Statistics from the month of October (certainly only from those chose to allow usage data collection):

• 7Pass is being started approximately 200 times a day globally.
• There’re 40 new installations of 7Pass everyday.
• Only less than 12% of the time a database is opened that user choose to save the password. This is interesting as I choose to save password all the time.
• DropBox dominates the database source with 46%, WebDAV at 20%, followed closely by Web with 15%. The rest (19% ) is Demo database.
• 10% is the rate that user choose to use external browser instead of the built in browser.

Hi Beta testers,

Sorry for screwing the first beta version. I’ll be honest that I have no clue which build I uploaded for the first beta. I learned a lesson from that, and now have proper build automation in place (I shouldn’t have thought 7Pass is too simple for build automation).

Anyway, changes included in this second beta:

• Confirmed WebDAV bug is fixed.
• Fixed global password challenge not displayed when user switching back to 7Pass.
• Changes to database synchronization code to make it easier for SkyDrive support.
• And certainly changes in the first beta.

Hi Beta testers,

In case you’ve not received any email from the MarketPlace but you’re sure that you’ve signed up for the beta, please try installing using that link. Your live ID has to be the email your signed up for the beta.

Please also note that I’m not accepting new beta testers for the 3.3 Beta. You can still sign up if you’ve not done so for the next beta.

Happy testing.

A short demo of the upcoming fields view/edit feature.

Please don’t hesitate to voice your feedback in the comments of this post so that I can improve it further.

Update

The previous field editing UI is too troublesome. I tried to squeeze too many feature into the screen, which requires more taps for user to perform common tasks, and hides the most needed value at the same time.

I’ve came up with an alternative UI that is easier to use, with bars of the left to guide use of the pair of field name and value.

Thanks for your comments.
