A built a free password helper for iOS because I’ve accepted that password reuse sucks, but so do traditional password managers. So this app takes snippets from valid site information and uses a secure hash algorithm which creates a binary, which I map to an string of ascii values to generate a password. It includes a per site salt and a device specific code to counter reverse engineering attempts. The salt can be which whatever you want, and you must remember a final passphrase (if you use one) to get the passwords regenerated. You have to kind of keep track of the length of these generated passwords yourself, because it’s truncated for differing password lengths. Anyway, on the whole imho it’s more secure than many a password manager on the market, save that it’s still new and requires use of copy/paste buffers. But, all of that is of course predicated on using the tool correctly, and using caution with passwords, which you should do anyway.

The App is DyfynderX if you’re interested. The name comes from dyfnder, which is the Welsh word for depth.
