go-ecbpass

go-ecbpass is a tool to generate pseudorandom password that can safely be used on various websites. The generated password is deterministic and is based on the user's master password and the domain of the URL provided.

Features

• Accepts URL, domain is extracted automatically.
• Automatic 'copy to clipboard' via xclip. (Linux only)
• Entirely stateless. No backup needed.
• A "password hint" which can help you detect typo in your master password.

How it works

sitekey := scrypt.Key(password, domain, 262144 /* 2^18 */, 8, 3, 12)
sitepassword := encode(sitekey)

where encode is some simple encoding function that turn []byte to ASCII string.
