Extension summary
greyman is a simple utility that generates a random name, date of birth, username and password for every website you browse to.
It is designed to give users who don't wish for their accounts to be connected to them or to each other an easy way to manage their 'identities'.
The 'seed' value lets users get an entirely new set of identities whenever they wish, and by copying a seed from one browser to another, can copy all of those identities as well.
Version 2 includes an email address with Mailinator.com, and a more personal option for usernames. I can't guarantee the email addresses will stay the same forever, as the list of domains are controlled by Mailinator.com and may be updated in future versions.
Version 3 just fixes the email link, which had been disabled by Mailinator sometime in the last 3 years. There's still an issue with the domains not all being valid, but I haven't figured out a good solution to that yet.
