DotPass is a utility for generating and retrieving passwords using a graphical pattern on a 4x4 dot grid and a plain text seed word. It produces unique, retrieveable passwords without storing them locally or transferring them over the network. The app is designed for users who struggle to remember complex passwords, providing an easy way to generate strong, different passwords for various accounts.

Key Features

• Generates passwords based on a unique combination of a graphical pattern and a plain text seed word
• Produces the same password when given the same pattern and seed word
• Offers privacy settings to hide the pattern and seed after entry, enhancing security
• Automatically resets the pattern and seed if the app is left in the background for more than two minutes
• Available for both iOS and macOS platforms
• Offers password length options of 9 or 18 characters

How It Works

1. Design a secret line pattern on a 4x4 dot grid that you can remember.
2. Use this pattern along with a plain text seed word (like 'work email' or 'facebook') to generate a unique password.
3. The same pattern and seed word will always generate the same password, allowing you to retrieve your passwords when needed.
4. For added security, keep your pattern and seed words secret.

DotPass provides a simple, secure way to manage multiple complex passwords without the need for local storage or network transfers, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between security and convenience.
