About Passme

Passme is a stateless password manager. It doesn't store anything, it purely relies on hashing to generate unique passwords from basic information and a secret.

Generate a password:

  1. Enter the domain name of the site, e.g. example.org.
  2. Enter a name for the password, e.g. jdoe69.
  3. Enter a secret that is hard to guess and you can remember.
  4. Press Get pass and copy the generated password.

The generated password will be specific to the used site and name and protected by the secret.

Note that the site and the name don't exactly need to match the domain name and the user name of the site that the password will be used for, but it's easier to remember them this way.

It can be a good practice to append a version number to the site or name value in order to be prepared for a password refresh for the specific site.

Regain a password:

In order to regain a previously generated password, repeat the same steps with exactly the same site, name and secret.

Secret

The secret is like a master key for the passwords generated by passme. It is the only thing that should be hard to guess and we need to remember. It is OK to use the same secret for multiple passwords, but it should not be used for anything else.
