After a huge gap of around 8 years (hoops!!!) I have started code development once again.
During all these years I was a manager and code development was not a requirement for me. I am still a manager, but good things come back again.
The first development meets my no.1 need. Keep unique passwords and still remember every password. For years I had only one password and used to use only that everywhere. But constant pestering by all paranoids everywhere, I started to look out for unique passwords. LastPass is a great utility but still required remembering one heck of a password at least and the passwords were still away – at large.
I was looking at something that keeps passwords unique, but very easy to remember. Creating a small rule to keep a common structure was not a problem to me. But the sites do not like either my username or their site name in the password. So, a common naming strategy was ruled out. Or was it? I could still have a naming rule if I could code the password. Sure, SHA1 hashing would help.
But, no. SHA1 codes are devoid of special characters. The sites write “weak password” in cold blood or even worse, reject the password altogether (yes, weak passwords are rejected by my payroll site). What to do? Simple. Encode SHA1.
Now I was coming to a full blown password suggestion that entirely depend on my likes and still has all the virtues of the best password management.
I would obviously look out for a browser extension solution as I would easily replace Lastpass with. Chrome was an easy choice for such an extension. Though I have come to dislike Chrome lately (more about it later), it is still my choice, on one count. The search box at the top.
Please have the extension after the break. I am now looking out for a nice looking logo for my first software for the entire world. Just asked my beautiful, designer wife to carve a simple, stunning and effective logo.
Will I ask you to pay for it? I should. But Chrome does not allow me to sell my extension for money just as yet. I stay in India. So, Chrome has all the rights to take my $5 for hosting the app. Cashing on it would be a future.
Just trying to figure out a nice name. Hashish, perhaps. or, just Hash?
