Could probably do with renaming, plenty of other memory based words that could be used rather than using Alzheimer's which is a terrible disease to be afflicted with.

Such a thing is typically called a deterministic password manager. One problem with it is that you can&#x27;t change the algorithm. If you want to change your PBKDF2 from 1000 to 5000 iterations, then you can&#x27;t login anymore on any of the services where you used this tool to set the password.<p>See also this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13016132" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13016132</a>
