Keyed Hashes? #1

Description

@iam-TJ

I rather like this extension. It would extremely useful for my staff to use but for one thing - the randomness!

Would it be possible to extend it to generate deterministic hashes based on the domain-name and a master password?

Currently I have a web-based tool that allows us to manually add email aliases to regular accounts, and when web-sites and others require registration emails we create an alias tied to the domain name of the form .domain-name@ e.g: our usual prefix might be 6 so 6.github@example.com or 6.mozilla.org@example.com.

I've used, for several years now, the browser add-on Password Hasher (NG) which generates a unique hash based password on the domain-name and a master password.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/password-hasher-ng/?src=search

It creates a hash based on the domain-name so it is deterministic. The input to the hash function is mixed with a master password at generation time.

This means the same hashed password will always be generated on every staff member's browser where the same master password is used.
