Password Generator: Generate Unique Passwords for Websites
Password Generator is a free Chrome add-on developed by Oleg Eterevsky. It falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This handy tool allows users to generate unique passwords for websites based on a master password and their respective domains.
With Password Generator, users can create several profiles with different master passwords, providing flexibility and security. The add-on also offers the option to synchronize settings between different Chrome installations, ensuring a consistent experience across devices. Additionally, Password Generator remembers the chosen profile for each domain, making it convenient for users who frequently visit multiple websites.
To generate passwords, Password Generator utilizes MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 algorithms. Users can choose the algorithm that suits their preferences and level of security. The add-on also offers the ability to store the master password in memory, permanent storage, or not at all, giving users control over their password management.
Furthermore, Password Generator allows users to specify password requirements, ensuring that each password generated has at least one character from each of several sets, including upper and lower case letters, digits, and punctuation. This feature enhances the strength and complexity of the passwords generated.
For those interested, the extension's source code can be found on its GitHub site, providing transparency and allowing users to review the code for themselves.
Password Generator draws inspiration from PasswordMaker, a popular password generation tool available at passwordmaker.org.
