StoPS
> StoPS is a device-based password management approach, built atop an existing oblivious PRF (OPRF) scheme, that transforms a human-memorable password into a random password with the aid of a device without the device learning anything about the password and without the need to store the password in any form (plaintext, hashed, or encrypted) anywhere on the client, device, cloud, or third party services.
This is interesting. Based on this paper
In the demo video they show a user typing their easy to remember plain old password into a browser with an extension installed that helps coordinate the magic of their technique. The user hits something on their phone, which kicks off the magic, and their easy to remember password is replaced with the strong generated password that was actually registered with the site. The video doesn't show what kind of setup is needed to make this work so I don't know about that, but the video makes the login process look pretty painless, roughly equivalent to using a security key or out-of-browser password manager.
