https://www.pwdhash.com is a browser extension that does exactly this automatically.

Oh and hash functions won't output symbols or banned chars. They output numbers and you can choose to represent those numbers in whatever mad way that you want, typically as hex, ie. letters and digits.

The length might be a problem but there's nothing to stop you truncating the hash.




Be careful when using PwdHash.

The used hashing mechanism is quite weak. If you don't have a long high-entropy master password, it should be feasible for a site-owner to brute-force your master-password based on the site-specific password.


Yes, but then I have to remember for which sites did I truncate the hash, for which I converted the hash to hexadecimal, etc.
