    Hi bluerail, Thanks for taking time to reply! You are correct about it being hard to follow, I have had that come up a few times now. I hadn't thought about a video but I will inve…

    Thank you. I am concerned about changing the algorithm at this point in case anyone has already used it. I don't think there are any serious concerns but will report back if I find…

    Oh cool, I did some quick googling but hadn't come across supergenpass. I will have a better look at their implementation. Thanks!

    No, not really. I do like having the length concatenated inside as well, as this provides a unique password for different lengths (useful to quickly visually identify if a password…

    I think most of the comments so far are missing the mark. This article is about leaving the working world and building something on your own. It's quite impressive that the author …

    Wow. I can see all major building projects in 20-50 years being completed using this technology. Amazing stuff.
