Summary

Analyze keywords

No password is ever stored within the extension, or anywhere else for that matter! They are generated on demand using a cryptographic hash function. The inputs are your master password and the site URL. This means you get the same unique password for each site on demand, but it cannot be used to discover your master password.

User reviews

Great extension. PS: please add 20,24 and 32 passwords lengths :-)

Nice, and it's good that it's open source, but it needs cross-platform compatibility: multiple browsers and the major mobile OS platforms. You can go to the web page to generate a password but that doesn't work so well on a phone. It might be good to allow choice of keywords for sites, defaulting to the domain name, and saved somewhere. That overcomes aliasing problems where a site might have several different names. It also allows the truly paranoid among us to add salt before as well as after password generation. There isn't really a support page. Not everyone has the time and the skill set to read and understand the code.
