Generator of highly secure passwords based on cryptographic hash and master password, which should be memorized; no password storage is involved.
Storage-Free Pass is the application used to provide passwords for multiple services based on a single master password. Unlike other systems providing encrypted storage for passwords, this system does not require password storage at all. Instead, the deterministic passwords are securely generated every time they are needed. It is cryptographically infeasible to restore the passwords without knowing the master password. This is the only thing a user needs to remember. How is it possible? The present article explains that.
