It also CAN NOT store passwords because it does not store but generate your passwords as described below.

HOW IT WORKS:
|
||||
## How it works:
|
||||
This software hashes the category-, the username- and the password-string, averages those hashes and uses that
|
||||
to seed the random generator which then creates your passwords. This results in the same passwords every time.
|
||||
The name of the strings(e.g. category, password and username) do not really matter, it matters that they do not
|
||||
need to be fancy, they just need to be varied, limiting the amount of stuff you have to remember in an effort to
|
||||
make it less likely to loose your access to your passwords.

||||
|
||||
HOW TO USE IT:
|
||||
Run the python file on the command line and make sure you have all the necessary libraries installed(string, hash, random).
