Use emojis instead of weak passwords! Learn more about this project and how it works below.
Please note: This is a beta release. Debug mode is enabled. Play with the application, and use the JavaScript console for debugging.

- Passwords are often weak and easy to guess
- People are lazy
- Everyone loves emojis
- Emojis are images, and you can turn them into stories
- Stories are easier to memorize
- Also emoji! 😁
This webapp is a simple, so called bookmarklet you can add to your Bookmarks Bar. The app is client-side only, so there is no server backend required. We're turning your input into a unique and super secure password.
encode(scrypt.crypto_scrypt(scrypt.encode_utf8(string), scrypt.encode_utf8(salt), N, r, p, L));
The math behind it is easy. We'll compare a "regular password" [a-zA-Z0-9] to our only six characters long emoji passcode. Btw. 1791 is the amount of currently available emoji icons. We'll update the function when new emojis become available.
x = 6; z = 0;
z = (1791^x) - (62^y)
y ≈ 10.8897
As an input for our hash function, a emoji passcode is a bit stronger than a ten character regular password. Not bad.
After hashing we're not showing you the generated password, instead we're hiding it with some HTML/CSS magic. 😉
Add the bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Bar, and launch the app. You will see four input fields. Feel free to try, but only emojis are allowed. Choose wisely, create a small emoji story and hit enter. If everything is ok, follow the instructions to copy your new password. And done.
Some tips & advice:
- This is a beta release
- We're not liable if something breaks/explodes/whatever
- Don't use common combinations E.g. 💩💩💩💩💩💩
- If you are a developer or researcher, try to break it!
More documentation is coming soon.
This project is inspired by Emojli (made by Tom Scott & Matt Gray ) and the love for Emojis of Ryan Hoover. We're using scrypt and strip-variation-selectors. Contributions by DaKnOb and atoponce. Thank you!
