One Password for all websites

Posted on December 7th, 2007

A lot of users tend to use the same password or a few passwords for all the websites that they created user accounts for. I would bet that most users tend to use more usernames than passwords simply for the reason that usernames have to be unique on each website.

Password Hasher could probably become the most important extension for those users who want to increase the security but keep the few passwords that they have been using on all of those sites. The concept is pretty simple. Different passwords are generated from a master password and used as the password for the websites that the user is a member of.

The user needs to remember the master password - and only the master password - to login to the website in question. The great benefit is of course that the password that was generated for that website is unique and can’t be used to access accounts on other websites or in real life.
