masterpass 0.2.4

Deterministic password generator

Master

Generates deterministic passwords

This is inspired by spectre.app but simpler. This uses a sha256 hashed combination of username + password + service to generate the same password, thus eliminating the need to store, maintain and back up other generated passwords.

jpedro.github.io/master has the browser experience.

The used service name list is kept under the file ~/.config/master/list.txt (or whatever MASTER_LIST points to) purely for autocompletion, which will be added later.

Eventually, the idea is to create a simple browser extension that uses the URL domain name as the service.

Install

pip install masterpass

Yes, yes. The package is called masterpass but the binary is called master. To be fixed after #2582 is resolved.
