There is a tool I've used in the past called PasswordMaker. It uses a |
| 12 |
master password and a flexible set of parameters to generate passwords |
| 13 |
and if necessary, enter them on a site. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It has a plugin for firefox and I believe seamonkey too. I can't check |
| 16 |
this second because their site appears to be down (bandwidth exceeded). |
| 17 |
It doesn't store the passwords anywhere and will only store the master |
| 18 |
password on your machine if you specifically ask for it. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Once you enter the master password and select the appropriate settings |
| 21 |
(length, character set, hashing algorithm etc etc), the password will be |
| 22 |
generated. You can also use the current website as a salt, so using the |
| 23 |
same settings will yield a different password for different sites. |

Sounds like I'm advocating this very heavily, in fact I don't have much |
| 26 |
experience with it. It sounds reasonable to me, but I'll let you guys |
| 27 |
discuss it :) |
