* Get different parts of the site address, like protocol and subpaths (www)
* Change the method of the generator: SHA, MD5, HMAC
* Create different profiles, so for sites that only allow numbers and letters can use one profile, while other you can use a complete set, including symbols
* Save the master password in the disk, in the RAM (reseted when you close browser) or never save it anywere

Jeremy Wallis (ID: 000000eee31deb4f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/20/2014 Currently of no use. The screen shots show an Import / Export Profile function which is in the original, but in fact this extension doesn't have that function so you can't import existing profiles or backup what you have.
