Generates deterministic passwords
This is inspired by spectre.app but simpler.
This uses a sha256 hashed combination of username + password + service
to generate the same password, thus eliminating the need to store,
maintain and back up other generated passwords.
jpedro.github.io/master has the browser experience.
The used service name list is kept under the file
~/.config/master/list.txt
(or whatever MASTER_LIST
points to)
purely for autocompletion, which will be added later.
Eventually, the idea is to create a simple browser extension that uses the URL domain name as the service.
pip install masterpass
Yes, yes. The package is called masterpass
but the binary is called
master
. To be fixed after #2582
is resolved.
$ master --help
