MasterPassword defines different password types to accommodate for different requirements. The classes are:
| type | description | example |
|---|---|---|
| maximum | 20 characters, contains symbols. | tXfB61^dHmG&tUUlUk6* |
| long | Copy-friendly, 14 characters, symbols. | DayiVarq7'Siga |
| medium | Copy-friendly, 8 characters, symbols. | DayYoz9: |
| basic | 8 characters, no symbols. | tw02ePg3 |
| short | Copy-friendly, 4 characters, no symbols. | Day2 |
| pin | 4 numbers. | 1234 |
| name | 9 letter name. | dayyozuqi |
| phrase | 20 character sentence. | day varqikude nera |
In addition to the table above, MasterPassword specification introduces a variants or purpose concept.
Early versions of MasterPassword browser plugin (before version 2) forced the use of the purpose "login" and "answer" for name and phrase types respectively. To get passwords created with these modes, use the [v] marked type.
The purpose variants are not widely supported in other implementations and are not recommended!
They are also not export/import-able in the .mpsites file format.
