Comment Use hashing algorithms (Score 1) 1007
I created a small shell tool for myself.
I'm entering some characters and the tool performs a incremental search in a file containing login identifiers (e.g. kleinesRaedchen@slashdot.org).
Then it asks for a master password.
At its core the tool creates a login specific password like this:
PASSWD=`echo "${login}${masterpasswd}" | openssl dgst -ripemd160 -binary | openssl dgst -sha1 -binary | openssl base64 | head --bytes 8`
The password is stored in the KDE klipper for 20 seconds afterwards.
