So many passwords. So hard to manage them all. But finally, a sensible way to create and manage them. PASSWORDMAKER takes a master password you supply, and hashes it with the url of the site you are looking at to produce a one-way password for that site. This is done either by a Firefox extension or an online web page (the online web page can also be downloaded and installed on your own computer).
This is a great idea, and they really have thought of all the details of sub-domains, required password changes and so on, and you get many options for generating the password, but unfortunately I did find a confusing flaw. The on-line version would obviously be necessary when using something without Firefox, but I couldn't get it to generate the same passwords that the Firefox extension does. Obviously some option I'm not seeing is set differently, but I can't find it. That makes me a little leery of this - it would be very annoying if I needed that feature and it didn't work.
Other than that potential gotcha (and I'm sure that the magic match is in there somewhere), this is a great idea.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
