Generate Password from Web Images and Text: ObPwd

Madhav Tripathi — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 08:55:22 +0000

ObPwd is an object based password generator add-on for Firefox. I use LastPass for me but this add-on seems interesting. Mostly we keep passwords in text files or on a encrypted server but ObPwd has come with different solution.

ObPwd generates strong password from your images or text in computer. So you can regenerate that password and you do not need to remember it or store it somewhere. This mean the same password will be generated every time with the same image or text that you do not need to remember or store. When you need to fill password or login just generate and fill.

You can generate password from a local file or from selected text or image.

Download ObPwd here (Via Lifehacker)

Firefox Add-on Drag and Drop Support

Madhav Tripathi — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 18:51:28 +0000

I really Like Firefox because of useful add-ons. There is Firefox add-on that will support drag and drop in wordpress editor. I think it is much needed feature of wordpress but it is not possible in core wordpress setup in any plugin but it is Firefox that has made it possible. I use Windows Live Writer to compose my posts.

Now doubt browse feature in wordpress editor is very slow specially on slow internet connections. So if you have installed this add-on you word is done.

This add-on is not just for Firefox it supports Gmail for add as an attachment via drag and drop, however, you can sue it for Google Docs too. however Google docs support drag and drop feature by itself. You can drag and drop multiple attachments. You also can use this add-on to drag and drop test snippets.

Using this add-on you can save complete page that is visible on your screen or not but entire page will be captured as an image.
