There are currently two PasswordMakers for the Macintosh Dashboard.

Daniel Weiss's Version

The first was written by Daniel Weiss and is available here. This edition hasn't been vetted by the PasswordMaker Team since we don't have access to a Mac. If you'd like to provide feedback about it, please do so by editing this page or posting to the forums.

Update: this file is not available at the location listed.

Brigham Brown's Version

The second version was created by Brigham Brown and is available here. The discussion thread about this version is here. Once again, this edition hasn't been vetted by the PasswordMaker Team since we don't have access to a Mac. If you'd like to provide feedback about it, please do so by editing this page or posting to the forums.

Features

So far, this edition includes everything you need to generate the same passwords you can generate with other editions.

  • Automatic password generation as you type.
  • All the fields in other versions of PasswordMaker.
  • Editable character sets which the widget remembers.

Additionally:

  • The widget will automatically clear the master password after a time that you specify.

Parakleta's Version

This version was created by Parakleta and is available here. Its focus is on having a small and simple UI by comparison to the existing widgets, and has only a subset of the fields in the Javascript version (but uses the default values where a field is absent). The code is a direct copy of the javascript code with a few minor tweaks and a chunk of irrelevant code removed. The code can be verified by ctrl-clicking or right-clicking on the package and viewing the contents, and then comparing main.js to the javascript provided on this site.
