Pass Gen

Remembering passwords is hard. This is a simple password generator that can be used to generate passwords for you.

Unlike other password generators, this one DOES NOT generate random passwords.

Instead, you need to enter a seed which is a word or phrase, and you need to enter an iter which is a PIN number that you can remember.

The password is generated by hashing the seed and iter together.

You'll need to remember the seed and iter to generate the same password again.

This implementation provides a special string combo %d which fills in the domain name of the site when this implementation is used as a chrome extension.

Slight changes to the seed or iter will result in a completely different password as the generator uses SHA256.

Usage Example

• Let the seed be the domain name of the website.
• Let the iter be a unique PIN number that only you know and use across various websites.

This way, you can generate a unique password for each website you visit, and you only need to remember the PIN to generate the password again.

Additionally, if you're visiting a phishing website, the password generated will be different from the one you use on the original website (coz of differences in the domain name). As a result you will be saved from giving away your real password.
