PasswordMaker is a small, lightweight, free, extension for Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape (IE support coming soon) which creates unique, secure passwords that are very easy to retrieve. Nothing is stored anywhere, anytime, so there's nothing to be hacked, lost, or stolen.
  • Good one! me likie firefox extensions.
  • My password is "zanzibar". Try it out!
  • Hey - it works! Thanks quid!
  • HAHA HAHA THISS IS KEWL
  • Jesus quidnunc - now everyone can post as you. You crazy fuck!
  • Uh oh.
  • Just jokes. That's actually Chy's password. Try it out!
  • Hi, this is the Pope. Just wanted to remind you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour today! Divine interest rates have never been lower. Consolidate your karma by investing in your personal moral security account. Your enlightenment is guaranteed! posted by the quidnunc kid at 04:40PM UTC on July 03, 2006 Uhh... this does not bode well.
  • /me falls for it, but is rejected by the very clever server. Either that, or I don't know how the server deals with spaces in usernames.
  • Skrik, that Nigerian guy who wrote you that e-mail? He doesn't really have $20 million.
  • Bwah!
  • He does. He has $450million, and he'll give me my 20% just as soon as I send him my account information. So there.
  • I am more angry than my ability to communicate can commit. My fingers burn with energy coursing like an ionised circuit of natural fire. My brain seizes with incandescant rage. I am the angriest mortal. The coruscant brane of momentary time-space vector shatters with this opalescant burst of hate. I wish to tear apart the fabric of reality with my blinding white glimpse. Kill me and be the messiah of a white sepulcher of space. Crush me with your gravity well of indifference. There is no blank space worthy of my spewed bile kill me with love hate death abuse monster life pulse. MORE MORE MORE. Pour it forth upon me for nothing else is real. Your twisted ichor feeds me and holds me aloft. GUT ME NOW
  • Oh. I think he's faking it.
  • Don't like this extension. All I want in a password manager is to have some random passwords simply generated when I need them, save them to an external file when I reformat my hard drive, and remember and automatically fill them when I am typing in a password field. PWM is too much. I don't need passwords based on hashes or leet speek, don't want a master password; just some random numbers and letters, plz. And the export function is 'disabled in this version'. I don't know if that option saves the passes, but it don't work anyway. Plus it wants to throw up a box everytime a password field comes up by default. I know about the auto-populate check box, but god dam it pissed me off for awhile. I basically want the password manager for Firefox to export and randomly generate passes. Too bad every one I have tried is burdensome, and the Ff native one is just slighty took weak. Anyone suggest one that's not trying to encrypt a md5 hash for every password?
  • You seem to know what you want. You have a holiday tomorrow. The Firefox source is freely available. XUL is easy and there are reams of documentation at the end of a simple google search. What are you waiting for?
  • All your password are belong to us. posted by cats at 09:00PM UTC on July 03, 2005 You are on the way to destruction. posted by cats at 09:01PM UTC on July 03, 2005 What you say!! posted by captain at 09:02PM UTC on July 03, 2005 You have no chance to survive make your time. posted by cats at 09:03PM UTC on July 03, 2005 Ha ha ha ha.... posted by cats at 09:04PM UTC on July 03, 2005 Okay, I'm completely lost now. Who is this "cats"?
  • and remember and automatically fill them when I am typing in a password field Doesn't that defeat the point of having a password in the first place. The minute someone sits down for 1 minute in front of your computer he can log on to any service you use with your passwords because they will automatically be inputed. I don't like PWM for different reasons. First it seems to much like the very thing it's trying to solve. You have a master password that tests against all other passwords. With the exception of all your passwords being different, if one person gets ahold of your master password, you're still fucked. A little more secure than using the same 2-3 passwords for every site, but still not very safe.
  • From the time of its installation to now Firefox has consiotently refused to let me have any extension or plug-ins. But even so, I like it so well I keep on using it. /technological nincompoop
  • genial "Doesn't that defeat the point of having a password in the first place." No, it doesn't. No one else sits at my computer. And if someone wants to get into my email or post as trig, then LOL@them I do. I merely need a random pass generator that will come up with stupid passes to be put into email accounts and forums and community weblogs, then make it easy to record and move said stupid passwords. I know that the only way to keep safe the data you seem to be accessing (with your easily hacked/keylogged/sniffed/spoofed passwords) is to not use a computer to access it. Which is why I would NEVER do my banking online, put my main credit card online, or anything that could potentially ruin me. I know what happens on my computer. This is why I am needing a easy, convenient password manager, instead of laying my finances on the line and transmitting my truly vital info to whoever can catch packets.
  • Password? That thingy you post on a sticky note on your computer? Yah, I have 'em!
  • You guys just don't understand. "With the exception of all your passwords being different, if one person gets ahold of your master password, you're still fucked." That's totally untrue. There are 10 other settings for each website that the person would have to steal (besides master password) in order to impersonate you.
