User reviews

I love this extension and have used it for a couple of years now. The only thing it lacks in my opinion is the option to create saved profiles, and the option for the salt to persist across resets. Having to enter it every time the stored data resets makes it a lot less useful in my opinion.

A very good implementation of the SuperGenPass aglorithm, with a great UI and secure! As for the other comment, it uses a "master" Password to generate passwords for each site, it does not release your user-chosen password.
