Password Composer
Thursday, December 29th, 2005Greasemonkey script for global passwords
Once every while, you encounter a website, which has interesting stuff available to you as a registered user only. No big deal, you just create an account and there you go. However, over time, the many, many user accounts with their passwords become hard to remember. You’ll just forget the cleverly crafted variation eventually, to find you struggeling again with yet another “forgot password” service variation.
A common solution is to have just one password for all of those sites, which are considered of low to medium risk if broken into. The problem with this is, that a rogue site owner might go out and impersonate as you, once they find out about other sites you may hang out with the same account. A little “social engineering”, and you can be in big trouble.
Enter the concept of a Master Password that generates a strong password, unique for every web site where it is used. Password Composer does just that!
