		entropyneur on Jan 27, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: Pashword – Hashed Password Calculator There are cernainly pros and cons to deterministic password generators compared to password managers, but I don't see why there would be a difference entropy-wise. Weak master password to a password manager presents the exact same risk as a weak "secret key" in this app.

The difference is that you'd also have to own the password store, rather than having to know about the hashing algorithm (which is open).
