LessPass generates unique passwords for websites, email accounts, or anything else based on a master password and information you know. LessPass is different from other password managers that you can find on the Internet because: It does not save your passwords in a database ; It does not need to sync your devices together ; It is open source (source code can be audited). The system uses a pure function, i.e. a function that given the same parameters will always give the same result. In our case, given a login, a master password, a site and options it will returns a unique password. No need to save your passwords in an encrypted file. You just need to access the tool to recalculate a password from information that you know (mostly the login). To raise the cost of breaking your master password, the generation of the password must be time consuming, especially by brute force. So LessPass uses PBKDF2 with 8192 iterations and a hash function sha-256.
