About the application:

If you think there is room for improvement in your current approach to password handling you may search HPASS helpful. One method to shop and share passwords is by using a password manager. It is an often suggested and widely used solution, but not without problems. HPASS uses an alternative approach with one major advantage: passwords are generated locally, on-demand and never stored in any central place. Passwords and a few easy settings to generate them (Secret, Unique hero, and Length) are never stored in any centralized place, only on your local device, so there is no danger of data breach so often reported for password managers. A really big number of websites and apks offer powerful random password generation, but quite extensive find failed to search any which would let to generate reproducible, hint-derived passwords as HPASS does. USAGE Assume you need a password for a site with URL=https://www.abc.com. site. You simply enter abc as a password tip into the input box and press generate button. This will generate a password string and copy it to the clipboard. After that, you can paste it where it is required. As a convenience feature, if you enter the whole URL the apk will automatically extract secondary domain ("abc" in this example) as a password hint. Note that the default settings (Unique hero = "_", Length = 15) have been chosen to satisfy password requirements for most (if not all) sites. Some sites will not agree certain unique heroes, and some impose a rather short maximum password length - 15 seems to be accepted by most. Please note that the method HPASS generates password from input parameters (tip, Secret, Unique hero, Length) is one-way hash function and the input parameters cannot be recovered from the password string. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS There is always a balance between safety and convenience. In HPASS context it means that although keeping only local copies of any sensitive info is more safe and less tempting for any hackers then keeping it in a centralized place (just compare relative effort and potential payoff of braking once into central database with millions of password versus braking into millions of individual devices) no info is 100% safe if it is written down, the only safe data is the one that is kept in your head (barring any mind-reading capabilities :). If you are concerned about the chance of some awful actors braking into your device and stealing settings you use to generate password (Secret, Unique Hero and Length), there are some steps you can take to vastly improve safety of your password by paying (little) inconvenience price. For example you can (1) "decorate" tip with some additional heroes e.g. instead of using abc you can always append some character(s) to it (2) use generated password as a tip and generate password once more... and probably you can invent a lot of more easy schemes to accomplish the same goal i.e. that the part of the whole password generating procedure is stored only in your mind :) Of course, if the websites you need to login into where the safety is most necessary (bank accounts, etc) offer multifactor authentication (MFA) it is always a awesome idea to use it. Last, but not least, all HPASS code is begin source - you can inspect it, comment on it, and propose and contribute improvements.
