#3This is a big deal. I'm not going to share my Gmail password with anyone (except my wife, maybe) - which was too bad, because Etacts is a really useful service. Now I'm able to sign up without giving them my password. Hopefully other mail providers will do the same thing.

#6Are other people getting a revoked certificate error when accessing this with Chrome? Firefox doesn't complain, but Chrome 5.0 on Ubuntu is all over it.

#7To be clear, you still need to give Etacts your password IF you use Google Apps (not simply gmail), right?

#8FYI: Finding it odd that there is no "sign in" button.
Tried putting my e-mail address back-in on the home page and I get "need oauth token"

I'd like to know too. My primary personal account is on Google Apps.

Congratulations on the fast turnaround. I have the dubious distinction of writing the somewhat snarky top-voted thread on your previous post [1]. While I'd still like a better understand of etact's privacy features, not having to enter my Google password is good enough for now. I've signed up.
