This is why I like generating passwords with a 1 way SHA-256 hash, no need for any storage or encryption and no reliance on some website service being up.

And no way to change your password when it's compromised?
And no way at all to protect yourself against any site you use this scheme on to brute-force your master password without you even being aware of it.
Now add one special character, mix upper and lower case, max 32 characters. This wouldn’t work on even 1% of all websites out there.
