Cockatoo
Generate unique passwords from a single master password securely and locally
About Cockatoo
Cockatoo transforms your master password into site-specific passwords using cryptographic hashing. It works offline, never stores data, and auto-fills passwords in your browser. Optional secret gestures help remember more with less effort. Open-source and privacy-focused, supporting multiple platforms and browsers.
