Passwort Kalkulator Files

Version 1.1.1 (BugFix: memory leak; small changes in layout)

The password calculator generates after entering a master password a starting value for the pseudo-random generator. Neither the master password nor the start value must be stored in the system. For increased security needs input may be done with the screen keyboard offered by the program.

When after taking over the master password a name of a service or an information word is entered in plain text, a password is generated / calculated for that service. It is ensured that the same inputs always lead to the same passwords. For the generation of the password you can set options for the length, the invalid characters or if only digits are allowed. This information may be stored in a CSV file with tab as separator. This file can also be generated during program execution. (It is stored in the program directory.) At program-start the program will search for the file and if it exists, it is loaded automatically.

example
Password for...	Length	illegal characters	N(um, D(efault

Webmail		20
suitcase-lock	4				N
My Bank		5	.:,;\`[](){}


Was adopted as the master password, the value "MasterPasswort", the generator supplies without further restrictions on the

  information word "test"  the password "Z2<9JGx+ha\34-"
  information word "Test1" the password "w#5BrSjO,+*3^K"
  information word "test1" the password ">&H1m~ER/hWH7|"


The interface language can be adapted to your own wishes. This requires that the file "PasswordcalcText.txt" is in the program directory. It should contain the translated titles of the controls. As a template the files "PasswordcalcText_DEU.txt", "PasswordcalcText_ENU.txt" or "PasswordcalcLanguageTab.ods" can be used.

To the program, I was inspired by an article in the c't magazine (c't Nr 18 vom 9.8.2014;Seite 82 ff: Jürgen Schmidt: Eines für alle)
