Mappa Takes Passwords Like These
And Makes Them Secure
Bad password practices are no more
Mappa is an easy to use browser plugin that translates a user’s password to a completely new and highly secure password using a unique mapping key.
Ignore traditional password security practices
A real alternative to password managers
The Math Checks Out
Password strength comes from the amount of guesses a hacker would have to make to brute force the password, i.e. guess every possible password.
The amount of guesses needed is determined by the password length and the size of the character set used, i.e. A-Z, a-z, 0-9 is a 62 character set.
Password strength also increases if you use a non-dictionary word and not a password used by many people. For example, one of the most common password used is "password",
and so this is usually the first password hackers guess.
Hackers are attacking online services, all the time!
How it works
Mappa drastically increases the number of passwords a hacker must guess in order to brute force a system. If we chose the password "lemons", Mappa would then transform this password
according to a map that is assigned and unique for every online account a user has.
In this case, lemons is suddenly a secure password as it is no longer the actual password!
Mappa can still protect you if you accidentally leave your Mappa account logged in on a shared computer, unlike regular password managers.
