link to recent new alternative-to-password-safe tool?

November 20, 2016 7:50 AM

Google-fu fail. I'm looking for this new open-source sw tool I saw the other day that avoids creating a database, instead computing your needed passwords on the fly based on your username and the web site info in particular. I think.

Does anyone remember what the heck this thing is called or where I can find it? (Again, this is not lastpass or keepass, since those are programs that created little databases of your passwords).

Thx mefiters! : )

That sounds like PasswordMaker. See the sidebar there for extensions for basically every browser under the sun.

Response by poster: Thanks dorque. It does sound like PasswordMaker, but it's not that one.

that's interesting, but this thread on hn raises some issues (i went looking because i, too, was surprised by the low number of pbkdf iterations).
