Description

Repeatedly using the same password for different websites is very bad. Using password manager is better, but if you lose your database, or need a password away from your computer, you are in trouble.

The best solution is generated passwords.
Every time you need a password, it is generated for you based on your master password and the website domain name.
If you need to access the website on a different computer, just use the same master password and the generated password will be the same.

Why use this over the original SuperGenPass?
============================================
Most importantly, SuperGenPass bookmarklet is absolutely insecure. Any website can steal your master password.
This extension is secure. But it's also more convenient.
Your passwords are generated instantly on a press of a single key.

Why trust the extension?
==================
The privacy policy is available in the codebase:

The extension is completely open source and you can easily review all it does.
If you do not understand programming, remember that there are many who do and who review the code they install, so this extension would already be banned by Google if it was evil.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
