About The Project

Problem (small background):
I use a password manager and my passwords are automatically generated and are therefor pretty long and complex.
Everytime I have to login to an account on a device on which I don't have my password manager setup, I need to go to the password manager on another logged device and hit "reveal" and then copy the 30 charachter long password with all the weird symbols per hand.
All the other available solutions do the same thing: generate a very long ULR which you need to send to the other device. This acutally makes the problem worse as now you have to enter this really long and weird URL.
The Solution:
This Webapp encryptes the password on the device before sending it to the server using an 8-charachter-long "passphrase" (in total 218340105584896 possible combinations) which gets displayed to the user. On the other device the user simply needs to enter this short passphrase to decrypt the password.
