Features & Capabilities

PasswordShaker is a hash-based password generator (an idea also known as "deterministic password manager"). It generates site-specific passwords for you based on a single master password that you supply. As such it does not employ any sort of password database, and neither does it have to keep track of the sites that you use it on.

The name pays homage to PasswordMaker, another password generator browser add-on that PasswordShaker's author personally used for many years. The creation of PasswordShaker was inspired by PasswordMaker's capabilities and spurred on by its technical obsolescence. PasswordShaker offers a PasswordMaker compatibility mode to support users who are migrating from it.

Is PasswordShaker Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PasswordShaker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
