Your "don'ts" notwithstanding, these might be worth a look. Discounted right now on the U.S. site:

wraith, I tried it, and it *requires* me to fill in all the fields (which I don't need). Also, I really want a recent menu - that's the main reason I don't like rss builder so much - it doesn't remember your last feed and you always have to fetch the path. I guess I could try to build it myself and fix it the way I want...-BGM (May 05, 2018, 11:48 AM)
I really, really wish installers were made to check for this, before running.-rjbull (May 03, 2018, 04:01 PM)
Hi there,
We recently released v4.4.2 of RightNote. A couple of users were upset to find out that their current license no longer worked with this version - only after they had gone to the trouble of installing the update.They would have liked to be informed about this before updating - not after.
So I am writing this message just to inform you, that a RightNote license includes free updates for a period of 12 months. After that period your license will not work with further updates, and if you do update, the Program will revert to the Freeware edition, where certain notes are read-only. (Of course this does not apply to Lifetime upgrade licenses)
You can best tell when you purchased your license by going to Help->About.
So once again my apologies to those of you who had this upset, and I hope to include a warning about this in upcoming versions.
A DuckDuckGo search for "windows program generate password text" turned up quite a few password-oriented hash programs and web sites, some with Android (or iStuff) apps as well. E.g.:-rjbull (May 02, 2018, 04:08 PM)
Any of these?

Is it LessPass?
Keep in mind that, as f0dder mentioned in that thread (well, he linked to something written by someone else), these kinds of password generators have drawbacks that may not be readily apparent. So if you can find the one you used to generate your passwords, you may want to consider moving to a different password system.
If that's not the one, then as I said, perhaps you should check out the LastPass Alternatives thread.
Good luck!-Deozaan (May 02, 2018, 09:45 AM)
So mainly in an attempt to make our life simpler and actually get this done, I'm suggesting that the money go to coders who are forum regulars who are identifiable as people who code things in request to or interaction with users on the forum. This can stretch beyond coding snacks but the idea is the same.-mouser (May 02, 2018, 05:53 AM)

If this is generally acceptable, the only question left is who else besides skwire should get some of the first $1,000 we give out? It's very easy to overlook folks, so please chime in and nominate yourself.-mouser (May 02, 2018, 05:53 AM)
There's a chrome browser extension called hashpass: https://github.com/stepchowfun/hashpass
That repository has links to some other implementations (Android, python, etc) in case you were using this or some variation on it.-mwb1100 (May 02, 2018, 02:07 AM)
Suppose your secret key is bananas, and you're signing up for Facebook. Hashpass combines the current domain name and your secret key with a / as follows: www.facebook.com/bananas. It then computes the SHA-256 hash of that string. Then it hashes it again and again, 2^16 times in total. Finally, it outputs the first 96 bits of the result, encoded as 16 characters in Base64. In this example, the final output is sWwtmA9uA6X9SyXD. This result can be reproduced using the Python script near the bottom of this document.
If an adversary has your secret key, they have access to all of your accounts. Hashpass never reveals your secret key. But we must make sure that an adversary can't determine it from the generated passwords.
-snip-
A common defense against these attacks is to add random bits to your key. This is called a salt, and it ensures you don't use the same key as anyone else. Most security software will automatically add a salt to your key and store it. Since Hashpass doesn't store anything, it cannot add a salt for you. It is up to you to pick a key with enough entropy to defend against dictionary attacks. Longer is better. More random is better. Don't use a single word. Definitely don't use bananas. Hashpass doesn't limit the size of your secret key—take advantage of this.
its certainly possible - I had (have) an old iriver DAC that used the audio jack for charging, data transfer, and playback-Target (May 02, 2018, 12:00 AM)
Hash programs do that. Is it possible it simply hashed the text?-Dormouse (May 01, 2018, 07:43 PM)
Hash programs do that. Is it possible it simply hashed the text?Don't Think so, but I have been known to be wrong a time or three.-Dormouse (May 01, 2018, 07:43 PM)-barney (May 01, 2018, 08:16 PM)
but yes as wraith said was not about need
If the writing idea is implemented I think I can participate. Which reminds me to write a mini review of the software I won in the giveaway, hopefully by weekend-rgdot (May 01, 2018, 11:33 AM)

Her very latest video has taken a sad turn though, as she posts about her discovery that she has a brain tumor. She talks about her upcoming operation.-mouser (May 01, 2018, 12:47 PM)
I would increase the coders amount, that includes yourself of course.
DC receives a small but regular (though long-term unpredictable) stream of donations year round, and many of these are sent to me directly in the form of donationcredits; furthermore, I get some small number of commercial license purchases for my software through the site. And DC is not my full time job. In short, I do not need to receive any of the fundraiser money.-mouser (May 01, 2018, 09:14 AM)
