Fleeting Password Manager

Fleeting Password Manager is a simple program that generates pseudo-random passwords from the given master password, URL/ID (e.g. facebook, www.facebook.com, google, my_server..) and user name.

The user needs to remember only her master password to recover other passwords.

Passwords are always regenerated on-the-fly from the given login data when needed and are never saved. In other words, Fleeting Password Manager combines the password creation and management.

The length of the generated password is configurable between 8 and 32 characters and Fleeting Password Manager can remember wanted URL/User-pairs.

Example

Your master password is "AaBbCcDd", your URL/ID is "facebook" and your user name is "[email protected]".

With this information Fleeting Password Manager gives you a password: Nzg3NTgz.

If you change, for example, your master password to something else like "AaBbDdEe", you will now get a password: MmM0OTEw.

If you change, for example, your user name to something else like "[email protected]", you will now get a password: YWY5OTQw.

Security

The password generated by Fleeting Password Manager is as secure as any other password.

In order to crack your passwords the attacker would need to know:

• The fact that you are using Fleeting Password Manager in the first place
• Your master password(s)
• The URL/ID and user names you are using
