That seems like it might be considered "steganography." I like the idea :)

Oh, that script's pretty similar to a technique I used to use.
I had a folder in ~/Documents/ called Passwords. There, I'd keep plain text
files for each website. Each text file would have one line-- the line would
say "Password:" and some random password I made up. I'd then check the sha256
> For your last point I should point out that people should change their
passwords regularly anyway.
I disagree. The only time a password should normally changed is if it's
compromised. Of course, if the password is weak, you may need to change it
regularly, but weak passwords should just
I should mention that you can use this with file names containing spaces:
touch this\ is\ a\ test
creates an empty file called "this is a test" there are three spaces and
there are three '\' to escape them.
In the example: he*llo you replace '*' with '\*'
In the above example a ' ' is
I use **keepassx**.
Before I answer, I will tell you how I found the information.
other than echo and read and variable names and control structures like 'if',
there are appear to be two programs used:
sha512sum | base64 -w 0
After reading the man page of both I saw at the end of the man page for
sha512sum:
What change does the script needs in order for it to include things like
!@#$%^&*()_-+={{]]||;;""?,/~`.
Indeed we should change our passwords regularly and thats why I rather use
your method.
That way I can keep my passwords with me withoud the need to store them.
Is kinda hard to change a password because I have 2 computers in my office
and my laptop so it is a pain in the ass to change a
Point 1 can be addressed by changing the script.
For point 2, while the script always outputs passwords of the same length
(unless changed) that wouldn't stop someone from remembering "Oh, on this box
they require the password to only be 8 characters" and so only using the
first 8

I'm not entirely convinced that a password generator is a better or more
secure approach. Some considerations to keep in mind:

* It doesn't account for different password length
alberto: that's a bash script. You just paste it in an editor (gedit,
mousepad etc..) and you save it into a folder. Then you give it executable
permission with chmod and you run it.

Now my problem is, I have no idea how to use it /:
I think I have to copy it to a text editor and save it (no idea wich
extention) and then run it from a terminal. If someone has the time to
help me to use it I would be really greatful.
Hi,
Hope I can help with this one. You can save it with
Your English is pitch-perfect for the occasion. Everybody makes typos. The
forum software doesn't allow editing the first post.
You can use any extension you wish or none. In UNIX-like systems file type is
decided by magic number instead of filename extension. Here the magic number
is the hash bang.

Your English is fine, I didn't even notice the mistake until
As you probably know jxself is an active user here and do a lot of work in
favor of free software. I was reading his blog and I saw this interesting
program:

The idea here is to not store the passwords in a program but generate them
every time

Which.
Sorry english is my second language and my english is far from perfect :(
