A simple password generator, as an alternative to 1Password or LastPass.
"Parola mea" means "my password" in Romanian. I wanted a simple solution for being able to use unique and strong passwords for all of my accounts, but without the expense of the available solutions and without the possibility of being locked-out of some online account.
Try it out: parolamea.org
The application takes an identifier, which can be the name of an online service like facebook.com, or maybe an username and a master key, which is say the secret global password and based on that the application generates a strong 16 chars password that contains numbers and letters, both lower and upper case.
The actual generation is based on HMAC-SHA256 hashing, which is encoded as base 64, with some small twists. Here's a sample output:
cEjHheXOfDn2Shxq
You can then copy/paste that wherever you want and this is just a web page, it's available everywhere you want it to. Nothing gets stored either server-side or client-side, nothings gets sent over the wire.
Since it uses HTML5 offline caching, it's also available even if offline, being optimized for mobile phones too. Just add it to your home-screen and you're good to go.
Random trivia:
- the project is just a static website, built on top of Scala.js and sbt-web (yes, the whole logic is built in Scala and not Javascript)
- uses Twitter's Bootstrap with the Material Design extensions by Fez Vrasta
- works in offline mode
- optimized for Chrome and Firefox for desktop and Android and Safari for iOS
To build the project, you first need to download SBT and then in the project's directory:
sbt web-stage
The static website is available at target/web/stage/ and you can run it directly.
