When a user generates the password and clicks the box, you should have an ajax/JS element to allow them to copy it quickly. Â They shouldn't have to take the effort to highlight the entire PW.
that person is just trying to get their post count up, they never give good reviews. I think it looks good, simple and easy to use. Question though, does it regenerate the same password twice ever or does it come up with a new password every time someone clicks?
On an additional note to this point, are you going to at some point allow users to create accounts and store all their passwords, ala lastpass?Â
The algorithm is designed to generate passwords randomly and also on the basis of the users ip. There would thus be millions of possibilities and chances of the same password being generated for the same user on the same ip would not be possible. However, 1 in a million possibilities would exist for the same password to show up for another user.
thanks for this. it was on my mind when i thought of this website. However i would like to ask you a question in return. Why would a user want to store their passwords on a remote server or website anyways? i wouldn't mind adding this feature in the near future, but would there be really any takers for me to put the effort?
Convenience factor - especially when using multiple machines. Â It's nice to have the ability to login to a website, and this website autofills all of my passwords for everything that I need, vs. storing it in the browser cache which can be quite insecureÂ
So do you mean that to store password onto the passwordfox.com website and then copy paste them onto your other websites? How would this sound => If i develop a firefox or google chrome plugin which would then give you access to all your stored password on the passwordfox.com website. better still even generate one instantly and store it in the database.
10x 4 the site. I find it usefull and i will recomand it further. Maybe u could come with aditional plugins and grow some content besides this script. Overall its fine... but than this is only my humble opinion.
I would suggest removing the IP based randomness factor and replace it by true random bits. Fixing some bits might not be such a good idea, especially in this case, where the information (IP) is so easily visible from outside.
it is possible. but this would create a 1 in a million possibility of the same password being generated twice to the same user.
