What happens if a site requires you to change passwords regularly and keeps a history of the passwords you've used? Wouldn't you be locked on a single password for each site (or a very limited number of options to force the app to change it)
- askmike 10y agoI guess you can increment the password length by one each time. Though you have to keep track of the last used length.
- fnj 10y agoFor brain dead sites with rules like "min 6 chars, max 8, mandatory change every 60 days", that won't take you very far.
- mrleinad 10y agoSo you're changing remembering 1 password for each site, for remembering a bunch of option configurations for each site. Doesn't look like a win situation for me.
- bryanlarsen 10y agoFrom the FAQ: How do I change a password without changing my master password? That’s the purpose of the counter field in the options field set, increment it and you will get a new password.
