This extension opens a small pop-up, tries to determine the parameter from the domain of the current tab, asks for the master password and copies the hash to the clipboard. Lean Password Hasher generates a Base64 encoded HMAC-SHA1 hash with the master key as HMAC and the parameter as message, shortened to the chosen length. It was inspired by hashapass.com and generates the same hash with the default length of 8.

Has all the crucial features that I was looking for: - Automatically inserts the domain as Parameter - Does not display the resulting hash - copies it to clipboard as soon as it is generated
