Password Generator

Generates strong, recoverable SHA1 password hashes from a master password
What is Password Generator?
Password Generator is a Chrome extension that allows users to generate strong, recoverable SHA1 password hashes from a master password. With this extension, users can remember a single password and generate secure passwords for multiple sites. The extension adds a 'save' button to store the master password and pre-fills the site name with the current site's root domain. The generated passwords always end with '1a!' for sites that require a combination of letters, numbers, and/or punctuation. Optional compatibility with angel.net is also available.
