PWGen: Efficient Password Generation Tool
PWGen is a free Chrome browser extension designed for generating secure passwords using Rust and SHA-256 hashing algorithms. It allows users to create passwords by inputting three parameters: the current website, an email or username, and a password. The deterministic nature of the algorithm ensures that the same inputs will always yield the same password, providing a consistent and reliable way to generate secure access credentials. Importantly, PWGen does not store any passwords, enhancing user security by generating passwords on-the-fly based on the provided key.
This extension also enhances user convenience by saving your email for quick access and automatically populating the website field. This streamlined process allows users to efficiently create strong, unique passwords tailored to each site without the risk of forgetting them. PWGen's focus on security and ease of use makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to manage their passwords effectively.
