pw-manager

Creates passwords based on a master password and a unique string

It's really a password maker, not a manager, but if you can remember the master password and the unique name you used (usually a url or domain), it should give you the same output every time.

For the strongest results use the binary encoding (if you're not worried about compatibility with databases).
It results in passwords like this: éf*/Ê®²1Žújq!‘
According to howsecureismypassword.net , it would take 2 quintillion years to crack

How to Use:

Examples

$ pwmaker MyMas7erP@ssw0rd google.com
Prints out a password to the command line that is a hash of the master password (MyMas7erP@ssw0rd) and the name (google.com)

$ pwmaker -l 8 MyMas7erP@ssw0rd google.com
Prints out a password with a maximum length of 8

$ pwmaker -a sha256 MyMas7erP@ssw0rd google.com
Uses the sha256 hashing algorithm - usually prints out longer passwords

$ pwmaker -s mySuffix MyMas7erP@ssw0rd google.com
Appends the suffix to the end of the hashed password

$ pwmaker -e binary MyMas7erP@ssw0rd google.com
Uses a binary encoding
