Rock Update Includes SSH Password Change Option



Whats your oppinion of Rock App? Its had a lot of bad press! But I for one have had no problems with it at all, in fact I use it now quite often. The loading times are much quicker than Cydia and most of the same apps are available. Any apps you download are saved into their systems so if you need to restore it will always have your paid downloads on file, saving you from needing to re-purchase. More and more devs are now using Rock App for their paid applications.

Well after a recent update, there is another great reason to install and try Rock App. On opening you will be prompted with a pop up telling you you need to change your SSH passwords, ( only if you haven't already done so ). This is a great security feature and is very important in light of all the ssh worms out there!

Simply select "Change Now" and type in your new password, you will then be informed with another pop up that your password has been successfully changed, as easy as that, the other way is to use Mobile Terminal ( Check out my earlier blog), which isn't quite as easy.

This is another huge step forward for Rock App and stability keeps getting better and better, more reason to use both Rock and Cydia from now on. Please let me know what you think of it, or if you have any issues with it!
