Add-on summary

This extension allows you to choose different passwords for each website which requires an account without having to remember all of them. The extension achieves this by taking your master password and hashing it based on the website's domain (e.g. the google in www.google.com) to create a password that is unique to that website.

Quickstart Guide: 0a) First time only: check that site settings are correct and that you have enabled compatibility mode if you're coming from the old Firefox plugin. 0b) First time only: check the global settings in the options page of the extension to choose your password length.

  1. Input your master password in the password field
  2. Press the '#' button near the password field or use Ctrl+# to hash the password in place
  3. Optional: Use the '' button or press Ctrl+ to check either your master password or the hash word (depending on whether you've hashed your master password already or not).
  4. Login

Password Hasher Plus is a replacement for the Password Hasher extension which unfortunately is not developed anymore and does not work correctly with multi-process Firefox and not at all with Firefox Quantum.

To generate hash words which are identical to the old version, you have to enable compatibility mode! If you were using custom settings for the hash word you can use password strength "Custom" to select the options you were using. Note that "digits only" is present as strength "Numeric".

The plugin is slowing Firefox. Its GUI is too confuse, intrusive and shortcut keys isn't working.
