SuperGenPass, Simple Password Generator to the rescue
Creating a new secure password for websites you visit everyday and having to remember them is such a pain, but it doesn't have to be. Do you use the same password for every website you visit? Thats not a very secure thing to do, a unique password for each site you visit is the most reliable way to keep yourself safe. SuperGenPass is a browser bookmarklet that will use your master password to create secure passwords for each different website you use throughout the day, and you don't even have to remember them.
SuperGenPass is a snippet of JavaScript code that is stored in your browser as a bookmark, no install necessary. How does it work? When you are signing up for a new service, enter your master password into the password field on the website. Select the SuperGenPass bookmarklet and follow the instructions to show or populate the new secure password generated from the JavaScript code. The process is simple, but is it secure? The code isn't sitting on any website, it's in your browser as a JavaScript string.Trusting this code is another issue, what happens if for some odd reason the bookmarklet becomes corrupt? Bye Bye secure password. It does come up with secure looking alphanumeric passwords based on what I typed in for my password, so as far as that goes its secur-ish. I would prefer to write it down, for that extra precaution.
