It is designed for chess players, developers and users who want a simple and secure way to generate unique passwords. The extension works by turning the chess moves you play against a bot into a secure password using standard hashing (SHA-256).

🔑 Key Features:

🤔 How It Works:

1. Install the CastlePass extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Click the CastlePass icon, which will appear on every website's password field or in your browser toolbar.
3. A small chess board appears, where you play minimum 4 moves against a chess bot.
4. CastlePass processes your moves and generates a strong password and autofills it into password field.
5. Use the generated password for your online accounts. The password is created locally and is never stored or sent over the internet.

🔮 Future Updates and Vision:

CastlePass is continuously evolving. In future updates, we plan to add features such as customizable game settings, advanced security options, and more ways to generate passwords using different chess bots. Our vision is to provide a secure, fun, and easy-to-use password generator that meets the needs of chess players, developers and security-conscious users.

This is fun. I love the idea of gamifying passwords such a stressful annoying necessity.

Are you serious about this product? I like password generator, but using chess moves. I don't understand why and how this works. I think this is a new innovation. All the best!

This is such a clever and fun approach to password security! Using chess moves not only makes the password generation process more engaging but also super secure. I love how it keeps everything local for privacy. The idea of turning a game into a security tool is just brilliant.

Congrats on the launch!

Best wishes and sending lots of wins :) @atharvaugale8

Congrats on the Launch! Love the creative twist of turning chess moves into secure passwords. The local generation with SHA-256 is a solid way to keep data private.

Excellent idea! This just shows why we started building products in the first place. Building things that are fun and exciting. @atharvaugale8 best of luck.

Congrats on the launch! This is an awesome and really creative idea. I literally just got off chess.com 😅 I wish you all the best :)

What a creative approach to password generation! Using chess moves against a bot to create secure passwords is both clever and engaging. The SHA-256 hashing ensures security while making password creation feel like a game.

Being open-source and free makes it accessible to everyone, and the Chrome extension format means easy integration into users' daily workflows. It's refreshing to see password security turned into something interactive rather than just random string generation.

Curious about the entropy of the passwords generated - does the complexity vary based on the number of moves played? Also wondering if there are plans to support other browsers like Firefox or Edge.

This is a brilliant fusion of cybersecurity and chess that makes password creation more enjoyable. Perfect for chess enthusiasts and anyone looking for a more engaging way to generate secure passwords! ♟️🔒
