Tell HN: Change passwords for all your services

5 points by weakwire ↗ HN
Hello HN. I recently needed to change the passwords for my startup. Email/ bank/paypal and a gazillion more.

This process is painful and am certain that there are services out there with our old password.

What do you think about a tool that lists all the company's (or even personal) accounts and then make it easy to change the password to all of them?

Let's call it Passpast.io

The idea is a browser plugin that allows you to easily add a service to Passpast.io . Maybe separate them in Strong password logins , and day to date password logins.

When you need to change the passwords Passpast.io with redirect you to the change password page of each service. Or even better integrate with a very simple api to popular services with your change password request.

With that tool I could imagine my self changing passwords every week without any hustle.

Feel free to commercially use any of these if you like it. I will not pursue any IP rights(I don't even know if I can).

I just want to use this service :)

I dig it, but I wonder if this is even possible. I mean, each site has its specific password page and weird configuration.

Will it be possible to build something scalable enough?

Even without the integration, a list of the services I'm using this password (and username) and the link to the change password page will do. I mean I'd pay for that..

The use of backup/recovery email account is to safeguard another account. if you bought all under one roof, then it's like "paying internet bill to hackers for hacking your account"
