Password Hasher Firefox 3 Support · Jun 11, 08:43 PM

I know it’s been a while since the last update. While I have no intention of abandoning the project, it will never be as frequently updated as some other projects.

A large part of the reason is that it is meant to solve a particular problem as simply and reliably as possible. It will not gain new features unless deemed essential to the task of using generated passwords, and unless the features maintain or increase usability.

That said, there will be a new version for Firefox 3, and it will likely add a couple of requested features. As is, this extension can not be tricked into working with FF3, due to fundamental changes in password management. So you’ll need the update for it to work at all.

The new features will probably include digits-only hash words for PINs, reconfigurable shortcut key (through about:config), one or two translations, and a wider range of hash word sizes.

Thanks for all the encouragement, and also for being patient!
