Master

Deterministic passwords for everyone.

This uses a sha256 hashed combination of username + password + service to generate the same password, over and over again, thus eliminating the need to store, maintain and back up other generated passwords.

The username and password are not stored anywhere.

The used service name list is kept under the file ~/.config/master/list.txt (or whatever MASTER_LIST points to) purely for autocompletion, which will be added later.

Install

pip install masterpass

Yes, yes. The package is called masterpass but the binary is called master. To be fixed after #2582 is resolved.
