The main change in this release is the use of the SHA256 hashing algorithm, which improves security and reduces code size. Win-win! Well, not quite, since the hashes change, so you'll have to update all your passwords. Fortunately at this point nobody is using HashMyPass (that I know of).

Beta 1: SHA1

This release is a first working version of HashMyPass, and consists on the core from Nic Wolff's Password generator* (which in turn was built around Paul "Paj" Johnston's SHA1 code), with a few improvements:

  • More robust DOM manipulation code, able to deal with less common variations of login forms.
  • Support for catering to the password requirements of different sites (length, allow/require/forbid alphanum/symbols, etc.)
  • A custom pseudo-prompt that properly masks the master password
  • A more powerful domain-extraction regex

* Note: I gave up tracking which exact version of Nic's code I started from. He has made many variants, which I think show clearly the benefits of version control.
