Strong domain-specific passwords generator
Project description
- description:
Generate rebuildable strong passwords
Oneliner overview:
domain_password == base62(sha1(master_password + domain_key))[:8]
Goal
This utility script helps generate a set of rebuildable domain-specific strong passwords out of a single easy to remember master password and domain specific keys such as “login@host”.
The generated passwords are strong since they use 8 characters out of a 62 characters long alphabet (lowercase and uppercase letters + digits) that are not to be found in any dictionary.
You can always re-generate your passwords by taking the base 62 encoding of the sha1 hash of the concatenation of your master password and domain key.
Install
With setuptools:
$ easy_install -U virtualkeyring
Usage
Use the interactive command-line tool vkr that should now be in your PATH, and type in you master password and domain key:
$ vkr master password: <type the secret password here> domain key [e.g. 'login@host']: foobar@example.com your password is: hRnf6udB please clean your console (ctrl-L) after usage
Change log
1.1 (2008-02-16) use getpass to read the master password from the keyboard
1.0 (2007-11-10) initial relase
Online version
I plan to run a pylons-based version of the script at https://oliviergrisel.name/virtualkeyring .
