Password managers have become commonplace. Every modern web browser has one built in, there are even fancy utilities that integrate into all of your web browsers to manage your passwords. The whole idea of a password manager is to only have to remember one password, generally refereed to as the master password. This is great! That means that you can use complex and automatically generated passwords and not have to remember any of them! Password managers improve security and increase ease of use. But as soon as you’re away from your computer and on another machine, you can’t access any of the websites you log into because you don’t know the password for that site, which is why most people (myself included) just use the same, simple password for all of their websites.

Thankfully I have recently discovered a truly universal password manager: SuperGenPass. SuperGenPass works with any modern web browser. It doesn’t store your passwords, so it can be used on any computer. And, SuperGenPass doesn’t need to install anything to work. It is a bookmarklet, a piece of Java Script that when clicked, performs an action, in this case, fills in your password. SuperGenPass creates secure passwords using a very complex math problem, based on your master password and the domain name of the site you are logging into. If even one character is different in either your master password or the domain name, the password that is generated will be completely different. Because SuperGenPass uses a complex math problem to generate your passwords each time you enter them, it doesn’t need to store your passwords anywhere on your computer, making it a very safe and truly universal password manager.
