Lean Password Hasher Extension

Lean Password Hasher lets you create safe and purpose-specific passwords easily. You just have to remember a reasonably long master key.

This extension opens a small pop-up, tries to determine the parameter from the domain of the current tab, asks for the master password and copies the hash to the clipboard. Lean Password Hasher generates a Base64 encoded HMAC-SHA1 hash with the master key as HMAC and the parameter as message, shortened to the chosen length. It was inspired by hashapass.com and generates the same hash with the default length of 8.

An online version of this extension can be found at hash.tknetwork.de.
