Use Multiple Passwords for different Websites using a Single Master Password

Its a fact that majority of the web users tend to sign up and register in various websites and use the same passwords on them because its easier to remember.Well recent attacks on popular websites proved that this idea might be dangerous as hackers who gain data of any weak security website database  will try to use it for multiple accounts like paypal, using that  email address and  password, and most of the times find the passwords similar for these  accounts.




This is a terrible mistake as many people become victim of theft or malicious actions and this  will lead to creating a chain reaction of  the persons accounts getting hacked across various websites he had registered. So to prevent these kinds of attacks, its advisable to use different password for every different account, but this makes it harder to remember each password.
Solution –> So here is a firefox addon called Password Hasher which will generate random passwords for each website sign up using a master password. This addon has the following features
  • Easy to remember single master password for multiple passwords on different websites.
  • Change passwords using the site tag immediately.
  • Easy to change master key password without effecting other websites.
  • Generate passwords automatically.
  • Choice to select password length and type of passwords including case and digits.
So as its specified, its even provides the option for the generated password length and also prompts the usage of case and digits in the password to be generated.
To see the passwords on the browsers where the plugin is not available, it even generates a portable page as of to be able to carry the passwords with you all the time without the support of the addon.
