This is a browser extension that works for Chrome, Firefox, and other Chromium based browsers which is a flexible password generation tool that creates unique, secure passwords that are very easy for you to generate but no one else. Your passwords are never stored anywhere, anytime, so there's no database to be hacked, lost, or stolen; unlike the many popular password managers available.

To use, click the golden ring and provide PasswordMaker with at least two pieces of information:

1) A "master password" -- that one, single password you like
2) The URL of the website requiring a password
3) Customize per website password generation settings (optional)

PasswordMaker will then generate a unique password using a one-way hash algorithm of your choosing to generate a unique password for every website which is both extremely configurable and user friendly.

This technique has been widely used since 2003 and is 100% compatible with the other versions of PasswordMaker for other devices and computers which you can find at https://www.passwordmaker.org/ for more information. So, if you switch to a different platform, you can still easily generate all your passwords, for all your sites as long as you can remember your master password and password profile setting for the site.

Since I have inherited this project I have added many new and useful features such as strength meters, username form filling, removed all dangerous extension permissions, HiDPI display scaling, added PBKDF2 & AES encryption where needed, and many other visual, usability and performance enhancements. :)

It is advisable to always keep a back-up of your current profile data!
