Description

Unobtrusive Passwords is a Chrome extension that provides a way to use hashed passwords as discussed here: http://pragmattica.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/password-hashing-a-neat-idea-that-can-help-to-protect-your-online-accounts/.

Essentially, a master password combined with a key phrase provides a difficult-to-guess generated password for each site that you wish to use, but it's easy to retrieve the password given the master password and the key phrase.

I provide 3 hashes for each keyword/password pair - you can choose which one to use.

There are a bunch of these types of extensions on the Chrome App Store, but they all do too much for my comfort. I don't like the idea of an extension being able to read all my pages, and more importantly modify the contents of them if it doesn't need to. This type of extension shouldn't have access to anything on my pages. I don't find auto-filling to be particularly helpful.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
