About

Ekulta is a secure and unique password generator.

It generates unique passwords for each of your accounts or apps, which you don't have to remember or save anywhere.

Unlike traditional password managers, Ekulta doesn't store your passwords. Instead, it generates them on-demand using a combination of your main password and a unique identifier for each account. You only need to remember the main password - all the other unique passwords can be generated anytime you need them using Ekulta.

This approach offers several advantages:

Unique passwords for each and every account and app
No database of saved passwords that could be hacked
Access your passwords from anywhere without saving or syncing
Only one master password to remember
Open-source algorithm for transparency and trust

Ekulta is inspired by and builds upon Hashapass, which I used for many, many years.

FAQ

What if I have to change my password on an account?

If you used the identifier 'google' to generate your earlier password, you can add a number to the end, eg. 'google0' or 'google1', and generate a new, different password.

The +/- buttons on the side of the input field are used to increment or decrement the number at the end of the identifier. You can also use the up and down arrow keys to do the same.

Is Ekulta secure?

Yes, Ekulta uses strong cryptographic algorithms to generate passwords. The algorithm uses the standard Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1) and additional logic.

No data is sent to the server. All passwords are generated on-device in your web browser. Since passwords are not stored and are generated on-demand, there's no central database that could be hacked.

Why SHA-1 and not SHA-512, Keccak or Blake, etc.?

SHA-1 has been chosen, since it is natively supported by the web browser, without having to use third-party libraries. Keccak (SHA-3) and Blake are modern and complex algorithms, but the web browsers of today do not natively support them.

SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 were options, but in the end, SHA-1 was picked because is also the algorithm used by Hashapass, upon which Ekulta is based. This allows to maintain compatibility - you can technically use Hashapass in multiple passes to generate an Ekulta password.

What if I forget my main password?

It's crucial to remember your main password as it's used to generate all your other passwords. We recommend storing it securely offline or using a memorable passphrase.

Can I use Ekulta on multiple devices?

Yes, you can use Ekulta on any device with a web browser. Since passwords are generated based on your inputs, you'll get the same result on any device.

What is the meaning of the name 'Ekulta'?

Ekulta or 'एकुलता' is the Marathi word that's a part of the phrase 'एकुलता एक', which means 'one and only' in English. The ekulta ek password is the one and only password you need to remember!
