* Password are not very strong
* We use them for multiple accounts
The best way to avoid these errors is to have a unique strong password for each account. gPass helps to reach this goal : you keep a subset of passwords and for each login/password tuple you chose, gPass returns the real password by querying a password server.
The best way to avoid these errors is to have a unique strong password for each account. gPass helps to reach this goal : you keep a subset of passwords (called masterkey) and for each login/password tuple you chose, gPass returns the real password by querying a password server.
To have a high level of security, all information is stored encrypted (server side). Nothing is stored on client. The decryption is done on the fly when it's needed and only with user input. So, a hacker can get your password database, it will not be able to see any information (except if it bruteforce your masterkey) !

The first thing to do is to populate your database (from your/a password server) with login/password/master key values. If you want to make strong password, there is a password generator. After that, configure your addon in "addons -> gPass -> preferences" to point to your password server (+ username).
