Deadbolt Password Generator Extension

Created to combat the problem of having a different and unique password for every site, Deadbolt operates by applying a simple algorithm to a word or phrase, in order to derive the same strong password each time you enter it.

Unlike similar solutions, Deadbolt does not randomly generate the passwords requiring you to save them somewhere else, nor does it store any passwords or personal information. The only way to generate your password is to enter the same phrase again, meaning the only person with the key to generating your passwords is you.

Until there's biometrics, there's Deadbolt!

Deadbolt is available to view on GitHub - please track any issues or feedback here:
