random thought: someone should make a password manager that doesnt store your passwords, but instead, hashes your own password for you whenever you login/signup to a website.

so you dont have to remember weird complex passwords, your password manager doesnt have to store anything, and you can trust that your passwords are hashed regardless of the website’s security

but what would the advantage be over the password manager just generating a secure password that’s random each time?

the passwords dont have to be stored, and if you lost your passwords, you just need the encryption key+the same password part. but this idea isn’t really fleshed out yet. you woulnt be able to have salts among other things
