NAME
Digest::Oplop - Generate account passwords based on a nickname and a master password
VERSION
Version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
use Digest::Oplop qw(oplop);
my $password = oplop($master_password,$label);
DESCRIPTION
This module implements the Oplop hashing algorithm created by Brett Cannon http://code.google.com/p/oplop/. Oplop makes it easy to create unique passwords for every account you have. By using some math, Oplop only requires of you to remember account nicknames and a master password to create a very safe and secure password just for you.
Oplop combines the account nickname and master password to generate a eight character long hash, that should meet the most common criteria for passwords used on web sites.
EXPORT
Nothing is exported by default, but the function oplop can be if requested.
SUBROUTINES
oplop
This function takes two mandatory arguments, the master password and the label and returns the hashed password. Please refer to the SYNOPSIS for an example.

CAVEAT
The Python implementation is considered the canonical implementation of the algorithm, and although this library pass the oplop testsuite, there might be some cornercases where both implementations differ.
