Masterpassword
Release version 8, a combination of both the old and new algo plus a username combinator from the diceware list we use for salting.
The new algo uses variable rounds to achive [-a-zA-Z0-9] guaranteed symbols regardless of password length (which is now 8, 10 and 19, passwords of all lengths generated simultaneously) and usernames not dependant on the salt. You can change your generated password and keep your username if you simply change your salt.
The old algorythm is only kept for legacy purposes, you should change your passwords to the v8 algo as it has variable symbols (old algo always made passowrds start with a dash).
You can also now use custom salts. Posting without a custom salt uses the currently selected from the dropdown.
sha512 rounds algo
This is a new algorithm for password generation based on a loop which employs sha512 with variable rounds. The rounds are used within the hash itself, therefore adding an additional variable which is pretty hard to guess.
First major release
This is the first major release of Masterpassword, inspired by PwdHash and Masterpasswordapp.
It's a password manager that generates usernames and passwords based on a string (usually a website), a master password and a salt (generation). Salts are just words from the EFF new short diceware list.
The first time you use Masterpassword, make sure to use the first random generated salt you receive and remember it. Use that Generation each time you need the same password.
