Great story!
I always find it funny / frustrating too when they enforce special chars but then only allow 12 char length. The devs at the other end have no idea what they're doing.

The only way to trust a password manager is to write it yourself. I've gotten to the point of paranoia when it comes to cyber security. Even using a VM to browse the internet leaving my my main development computer on Windows 7 not connected to the internet. Who needs security updates when it' not ever online.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

If it's the one with the unique connecting the dots for the password, I have and do. It's really good. That's why I made the point of writing it yourself. Using open source is a great way to make your own modifications and you know the source code.

Thanks very much. Glad there are some people out there using it.
I use it numerous times every day and it works well for me.

That's funny and relevant.
However, you can download the apps (android), winform etc and run them from your machine.
Also, nothing (your site keys, passwords, etc) are never sent over HTTP.
However, again, you do make a great point.
I was just too lazy / cheap to make the site HTTPS, but I probably will soon, because I did it for my other site (https://newlibre.com -- still in development.)
Thanks for raising the issue.
BTW,
Here's a complete tech explanation of my project with all source etc.

Was merely poking a bit of fun, hence the joke icon. I didn't see a place to sign up and have you store the resulting values, so I wasn't too concerned.
On a more serious note, I loved the idea! Going to give it a go and see if I can integrate it with a hobby side project I'm working on.
It does get you thinking though... just how predictable are humans with pattern generation? Are we as predictable in the patterns we draw as we are in the words we choose, like that Ars article linked on the page mentioned?

Quote: The preset password must be unique to each device that is manufactured.
The device must ask the user to generate a new authentication method before being able to use it for the first time.
Yeah, those are requirements which are very very hard to meet. I remember SCADA and Iran...
Then I understand why there are people opposing that law.

Didn't that already happen in 1999?

So they're going to convert the attic into a spare bedroom and put a jerry-built conservatory on the back and stick a granny flat to the side?
That really is so 1999, it hurts.

Nim is a bit different. It is not only cross-platform, but instead of targeting assembly language or machine code, it targets other languages. "We want... a shrubbery!"
OK, that's 'Ni', but it's all I can think of about Nim. Unless you want:
