P-Machine Password Generator
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
This app is a utility for generating and retrieving passwords using pretty patterns.
It lets you enter a graphical pattern and a plain text seed word, and then generates a password based on this unique combination.
As long as you enter the same pattern and seed word the generator will always output the same password.
So as long as you remember the pattern you've chosen and your seed word, you can get your password back.
=== Single pattern use ===
An easy way to use this is to design a single secret pattern that you remember, and use this together with easy to remember plain text seed words like "work email", "school" or "domain.com" to generate hard to guess different passwords for all your accounts.
This way all you need to remember is your pattern, and you'll be able to get your passwords back if you need them again.
When it's time to change your passwords you can just pick a new pattern and generate new passwords using the same plain text seed words.
=== Single seed use ===
You can also use the app the other way around, using the same secret seed word for all your accounts, but a different pattern for each. This will be harder to guess for someone else, but of course also harder for you to remember.
To make these passwords secure you must of course keep your pattern and seed words secret, just as you would with your password. If you are worried about someone looking over your shoulder you can use the privacy settings in the app to hide the pattern and seed after entry. For added security the app automatically resets the pattern and seed if left in the background more than a minute.
