<p>In practice, the secret master password is the only extra thing users will actually need to remember. Their full name, they'll hopefully remember regardless. If the site is always named after the bare domain name, it needn't explicitly be remembered but can be found in the browser's address bar. The counter and type need only be remembered if they are changed from their default values.</p>

<p>In short, the algorithm involves the following steps:

<p>To ensure cross-platform compatibility, we define all data as byte streams using the following encodings for other types:

<li>Strings (eg. <code>"com.lyndir"</code>) are encoded as UTF-8.</li>

<h1>The Master Key</h1>
|
||||
<p>The master <code>key</code> is a 64-byte secret key generated by performing expensive key derivation using the user's master password salted by their full name. It represents the user's global secret.</p>
|
||||
<p>The purpose of this process is to deter any attempts at brute-forcing a user's master password from a known site password. The key derivation is done using the <a href="http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outbound/tarsnap.com/scrypt.html">scrypt</a> algorithm, which guarantees that the process sufficiently time- and resource-consuming to make brute-forcing an infeasible attack.</p>

<h1>Nothing To Lose</h1>

<p><strong>Master Password is <em>different</em></strong>: it is based on an ingenious password generation algorithm that guarantees your passwords <em>can never be lost</em>.</p>
|

<p>While password managers generally save your passwords in an encrypted vault or upload them to the cloud for safe-keeping, they make you dependant on syncing, backups or Internet access.</p>

|
||||
<p>Master Password has none of these downsides. Its passwords aren't stored: they are <b>generated on-demand</b> from your name, the site and your master password; <em>even on a brand-new iPhone</em> without restoring any backups or Internet access.</p>
