The cryptographic password generator can make a cryptic password using a word or phrase.
The point is to allow you to have strong and unique passwords for every site you go to, and eliminate the need to remember multiple strong passwords or using a password manager where all your passwords are stored in one place. Here your password is created on demand using a set of algorithms and not stored anywhere.
Add the following extention to chrome to make the process faster:
HOW TO USE:
The first textbox is the main source for the algorithm. Let's call it the keyphrase. Enter a short easy to remember word or keyphrase. For example, if making a password for Reddit, you could type something as simple as "Reddit".
The second textbox we'll call the keycode. The keycode is used to bolster the algorithm and further encrypt your password. Although optional, it's highly recommended. Adding in a personalized keycode prevents others from getting the same password by using the same phrase should you both pick simple phrases like Reddit for a Reddit.com password.
For example, everyone using the keyphrase "Reddit" will all generate the same password. Simply adding in a keycode such as abc123 will vastly change the result. See below.

Please note, due to the way the algorithm is designed, your keycode should not be greater in length than the keyphrase. If your keyphrase is 10 characters, and the keycode is 15, the last 5 characters of the code will be ignored.
Like version 1, the point is to allow you to have strong and unique passwords for every site you go to, and eliminate the need to remember multiple strong passwords or using a password manager where all your passwords are stored in one place. Here your password is created on demand using a set of algorithms and not stored anywhere.
Amongst other little changes, the main difference with Version 2 is that the generated password will always be 10 characters in length, while keeping the password requirements of at least 1x Lowercase, 1x Uppercase, 1 Number, and 1x Special Character. Some websites do not allow long passwords, so Version 2 might be better suited.

Unlike Version 1, your keycode can now be greater in length than the keyphrase. There is no minimum or maximum requirement for either the keyphrase or keycode.
When you press enter or the submit button, your generated password will be generated and dispayed to the page. Clicking on the password will copy it to your clipboard making ready to paste it wherever you need it.
Your password is generated through 4-7 levels of algorithms depending on the phrase and code provided.
Please note your password security is only as good as you make it. In this example we used the keyphrase Reddit to make a password intended to be used for Reddit. If you feel that is insecure, you are not obligated to do the same. Any phrase works, such as "It's over 9000!". Please choose a phrase you will remember or else you'll defeat the purpose of this program.
