Passpet makes logging in to websites easier: just click a button to fill in your username and password. You only need to memorize one secret, and Passpet will generate a different password for each site. Even if there is a break-in at one site, your other accounts and passwords are safe. Passpet protects you from attackers who try to fool you into revealing passwords because each password is generated only for the site where you originally established it.
Passpet was presented in a paper published at SOUPS 2006 (the Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security). Read the paper (465 kb PDF).
For screenshots and more details, see the Passpet website.
Passpet is not yet ready for general release, though the source code is available in its current state. The functionality described in the paper has all been implemented, but there remain a few bugs in the UI, and more Passpet icons still need to be added. Also, for a proper first release, the extension needs to come with an animated tutorial for new users.
