Extension summary

Instead remembering several passwords for each each you have an account, you need only to remember one.

This simple application generates a unique password combining your master password and the name of the site you are visiting. So even using the same password over and over, each site will get a different and unique.

So, even if a site is hacked and your password stolen, you protect your other sites from being invaded using your password.

Features

  • Automatically get the site address -URL- from the page you are current seeing
  • Get different parts of the site address, like protocol and subpaths (www)
  • Change the method of the generator: SHA, MD5, HMAC
  • Create different profiles, so for sites that only allow numbers and letters can use one profile, while other you can use a complete set, including symbols
  • Save the master password in the disk, in the RAM (reseted when you close browser) or never save it anywere

User reviews

Currently of no use. The screen shots show an Import / Export Profile function which is in the original, but in fact this extension doesn't have that function so you can't import existing profiles or backup what you have.
