Password Save extension brings up a plain text listing of your passwords in a browser window that can be easily copy-pasted or saved to the hard-drive.

Some javascript warning fixes and a bit of debugging code for helping people that the extension doesnt work for (Email me if you get a blank screen and have some free time to help me debug and well solve this problem once and for all)

In Preferences, go to Privacy => Passwords. When you click View Saved Passwords, there will be an added "Dump Passwords" button. Clicking this will pop up a new browser window with the saved passwords which can easily be saved, printed, or copy-pasted into another location.

This extension will only work (as is) on the released 1.5beta1 - 1.5beta2. The intall.rdf can be tweaked to get it to install fine on any recent nightly or the Deer Park Alphas. It -=can not=- be tweaked to work on 1.0. Sorry!

Poisson Media Recovery project can be used to retrieve slightly damaged files from CD-ROM media.

It sequentially mounts and umounts the device, and on each mount it tries to read as many new 512 byte sectors as possible.

I was able to use this tool to save some files from old CDs.

Password Finder provides a function for finding passwords.

Password Hasher enables a good security practice.

- Updating passwords compounds the memorization problem.
Main features:
- Automatically generates strong passwords.
- One master key produces different passwords at many sites.
- Quickly upgrade passwords by "bumping" the site tag.
- Upgrade a master key without updating all sites at once.
- Supports different length passwords.
- Supports special requirements, such as digits and punctuation.
- Supports restricting a hash word to not use special characters. (New!)
- Saves all data to the browsers secure password database.
- Generates a portable HTML page with your site tags and option settings that allows you to generate your hash words in any browser on any machine without the extension installed. (New!)
- Can add marker buttons to unmask passwords on any web site. (New!)
- Extremely simple to use!

Gnome Password Generator is a GUI based secure password generator. The project allows the user to generate a specified number of random passwords of a specified length. The program requires Python version 2.4 or greater, PyGTK version 2.4 or greater, and Gnome-Python for Gnome 2.

DBIx::Password provides an abstraction layer for password maintenance. It is database independent and only overrides the connect method (so it basically behaves as DBI normally does).

You provide a single virtual user name in the connect method and the module determines which database/which user/which password to provide.
