sidebar, security, password, anykey
Another feature
Dasch requested was that the password field doesn't show the entered password. But as I liked the possibility to check if you typed the password correctly, I added a checkbox to switch the display back and forward (stars or text) by a small JavaScript (my very first one! Whee!
).
As it is only a minor change I call this version 0.4.1 and hope that many, many, many people use it and give me some feedback. Still works best with your Opera sidebar or Opera on mobile phones.

sidebar, security, password, anykey
I did some major changes to my password generating tool "Any-Key", so today I can announce the release of version 0.4! From now on the tool is object-oriented, so future changes should be a bit easier to make and understand (hopefully). Furthermore I added the possibility to generate "oversize" passwords, meaning with more than 14 characters. This idea came from
Dasch, so thanks alot mate!
Again I encourage everybody to try and use the tool! It works best with your Opera/Firefox sidebar or your mobile phone. Backwards compatibility goes without saying.

sidebar, password, security
I was so fed up with memorizing passwords that I started to use only 1 master-password every time. But since we all know that this is totally insecure I wrote a small tool to generate secure passwords based on a website URL and a master password, I call "Any-Key".
It is open source, written in PHP and optimized for usage in the Opera sidebar or on mobile phone browsers. Some days ago I released version 0.3 and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I hope other people beside my family and closest friends like it too. Feedback would be appreciated.
