Pass the Pie

Every service you need to log into requires a password so that your data is kept safe somewhere on a server. Chances are you’re not really struck by inspiration, but you want to use a solid password, or change existing ones. This is where Pass the Pie comes in handy, letting you create new passwords based on the existing one and a random key.

Note that the application is ready and operational as soon as download is done, because there’s no setup involved to make it work. This keeps registry entries intact, so you don’t need to worry about affecting stability of a different PC in case you decide to carry the application around on a thumb drive.

There are several requirement fields which need to be filled in. On the one hand, the application needs to know the service for your existing account, as well as the existing password so it can build the new, enhanced one based on these values.

On the other hand, generating a password is not possible without a seed. This represents a series of characters used by the algorithm to build the new code. On the bright side, there’s the possibility to have a random seed generated and even saved to file in case you want to use it later on.

Using the same seed for a specific account doesn’t change the generated password. Apart from this function, the application can also be used to encrypt files. This is done in the same location, and the original is kept intact as well. However, a key needs to be generated first, and the same details are required for decryption.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Pass the Pie is sure to enhance your existing passwords by generating new ones which contain multiple character sets organized in a difficult to read order. It can also keep files safe through encryption, making it worth your while overall.
