mushpup


an open protocol for creating reasonably secure disposable passwords

Overview

Passwords obviously are important and most people know by this time how to pick a good one.

For many people, the problem is not so much that their password is weak and too easy to guess or steal (though this is still a common problem.) The problem is that they use their same strong password over and over again -- meaning if it is compromised at any one of the sites where they use it, it can be misused at another one.

Mushpup is a simple javascript library I've created that leverages existing cryptography libraries to produce strong, unique passwords that can be securely retrieved from anywhere there's an internet connection.

Version 3

Version 3 is under development. It has 2 goals:

  • Create a module that is reliably available from a public url (like a CDN).
  • Upgrade to the mushpup home page to provide a more intuitive and modern interface.

Version 1 is still available here:
