  • Security & Privacy
This small tool helps you manage your passwords. It creates unique password for each service you use, using the service's name, and a master password. Details follow.

Important: Use at your own Risk.

For a simple uglier version, with no images, go here. The ugly version is a single self contained HTML file, that you can download and use everywhere.

To use this service, you need a Master Password. If Don't have one make one up (To get the idea of what a strong password is, look here). Be sure to remember it!!! Your passwords cannot be restored without it!!

Important Security Note: Your passwords are NOT contained in any submittable forms. The sensitive data from this page will NOT be sent over the network. The calculations of the password are made using javascript in the local browser. In-fact, once loaded, you can use this page while you are offline.
Also note, that your master password must be strong! if you can guess the master password, you can easily find the other passwords.

Instructions: Type in a master password and a service name. The generated password will appear automatically.

Note:

  • You don't have to remember the generated password. You just have to remember the Master password, and the service name.
  • The generated password is combined of both of them.
  • You then can re-generated the password anytime using the Master password and the service name.

Tech-details:

  • You can download this page for offline use. Place the page in a Disk-on-Key, and you will have it in a portable version!
  • The generated password is based on the HMAC-MD5 algorithm.
  • Thanks to paj for his js md5 library. You should also check out the password maker that he links too. It is too complex for me, so I created this one. This library is under the BSD license; See the source code for details.
