Infinite Password Generator

[Pony]

This is something I have liked and used for years but I don't think it's in your collection: Infinite Password Generator.
It's a deterministic password-generator: put the same textual information (master password and website's name) in and get the same password out.

Using only a single Master Password that you need to remember and a keyword of your choice, you can use entirely different passwords for different websites!
Version 3.1 new feature: create portable version!

As it can store keywords (websites' names) and notes, it may be used as a password-organiser as well and, at a pinch, it could be a substitute/replacement for a password-manager.

Download

To Create a Portable Version:
Once installed, a portable version can be created by running the program and pressing the menu button and selecting the "Create portable version ..." option.
OR
Use the Universal Extractor program and extract the passgen.exe and passgen.chm files from the installer; put them in a folder (call it something like "Password Generator"); within that folder, create another folder and call this "profile" and, within that, create a blank text/ini file called "passgen3.ini".

Interesting program but what's with the TR.IM links you're using? Why not just point to the ikitek site links?

There's nothing malicious about the trim links. I just wanted to see how much interest there was by seeing how many times they were clicked: Trim provides various analytics.

Old topic update: Ikitek Infinite Password Generator last version is v3.1 (see below for changelog) released 2008-10-26.

As stated above, native portability is achieved by creating a 'profile' sub-folder inside IPI program folder and placing an empty 'passgen3.ini' file in it -- the installer can be (Uni)extracted easily.

FTR, full changelog from 'whatsnew.txt' in download archive.
