...or... writing a simple script that given a key, generates you a password based on it.
I probably have 50+ passwords at least, and every one is different. I just run my little script with a "key" and it tells me the password.
And of course browsers remember them anyway.
eg
./get_my_password.sh mygmail
./get_my_password.sh server_1_mysql_root
I think 1password etc do similar things though.
- Groxx 17y ago1password uses 128-bit AES, based on your master password. Intelligently, they didn't write their own encryption. Of course, we wanted to avoid writing this code in the Agile Keychain and elected to use the OpenSSL function PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 to generate the keys. Key generation is simply too important a step to not rely directly on the experts. In order to thwart would-be attackers and strengthen the key, we elected to use 1000 iterations in the PBKDF2 algorithm. http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/agile_keychain_design.html http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/agile_keychain_design.html
