My first Google Chrome extension.

A couple years ago I used a password manager for Firefox aptly named "Password Hasher". It let me use a master key to log into all of my website accounts and it was pretty handy. Nowadays I use Chrome and I've changed most of my old Password Hasher passwords, but there's still a few sites in which I haven't. For these, I use an HTML file sitting on my computer that mimics the same functionality as the Firefox extension, but it's clunky and not very handy at all. So since Chrome extensions are so wicked easy to build (being only Javascript and HTML), I figured building a Password Hasher Chrome extension would be an easy project. It was!

It auto-fills the "site" field with the URL of your current opened tab, and there's an options panel to tweak how your passwords are hashed. It basically has the exact same functionality as the original Firefox extension, with a few minor exceptions.

Of course, though, I didn't check to see if anyone else had created one before I started. So there's already an extension for Chrome that does this, but it's kinda ugly, and I trust mine a lot more! So use mine!
