[VB6] LessPass Desktop Tool in pure VB6
A tiny LessPass implementation in VB6 based on lesspass repo by Guillaume Vincent.
Description
This is an algorithmic password generator. The clever idea is that the algorithm used produces the same password for the same site, username and some master password.
The main idea of the LessPass is that a single (strong) master password can be used to generate derivative passwords for unlimited number of sites based on the site domain name and your username there.
This way you have to remember only a single master password and your username for each site -- your password for the particular site can be generated algorithmically (w/o writing anything to disk or registry) using this input only.

This looks like an interesting idea. Is this based on some industry standard or something? I don't think I have ever heard of password management being done with way.

The idea is cool although not completely novel and I’m not aware of a standard RFC on this topic.
For instance this https://github.com/cloudflare/gokey vaultless password manager uses completely different crypto core and generates passwords incompatible with LessPass ones.

Oh so it's kind of an informal thing then. Very interesting ideas here though.
