Extension summary
Skeleton Key is an alternative way to manage passwords. Rather than keeping a database for every website, you merely have one master password that is used in combination with a "site key" and your username. The site key is a site-specific string. All three pieces of data are cryptographically hashed repeatedly using the ultra-secure PBKDF2 algorithm.
Changes in v3:
- Fixed bugs with site key suggestion.
Changes in v2:
- Use current tab's URL as a suggestion for the site key.
