“Dealing with passwords is awful” is a statement few would disagree with. Password managers make the situation less awful, improving both security and usability by making it easier for you to have a different, strong password for every site. Most password managers store your passwords in the cloud. SitePassword is different; it calculates your passwords when you need them.
SitePassword is a browser add-on that runs in Firefox and most Chromium browsers. It is designed for usability and security and supports the features you want in a password manager. It remembers your settings and synchronzes them across your devices; it finds and autofills login forms; and it provides a web page you can use to get your passwords from any device. It also allows you to provide your own passwords making it a hybrid of the two types.
When you first encounter a page with a login form at a given domain, the password field contains a placeholder Click SitePassword.
As you mouse over to the login form, the placeholder changes to Click here for password.
Click and your password gets filled in.
When you return to that login page on any machine that synchronizes your bookmarks and has the extension installed, your userid is automatically filled in. You only need to click on the password field. The result is that using SitePassword is even easier than typing the same, weak password for every site.
SitePassword also provides a web page that you can use to get your passwords when the extension is not available, such as on your mobile devices. You don’t even have to remember your settings if you synchronize bookmarks to the device. Just navigate to the corresponding bookmark. You’ll be taken to sitepassword.info with your settings filled in.
SitePassword is available under limited release. Contact the author at alanhkarp@gmail.com if you would like to try it out.
