I would like to store my passwords locally in a way similar to what Supergenpass does: using a master password mix a domain name example.com with a username exampleuser and generate a unique password for each domain/username pair.
(As for now Supergenpass does not take username into account).
Does something like that exist for Linux platform?

SuperGenPass works just fine under Linux. All that's required is a Javascript-capable browser.
Alternatively, you can make your own. All SuperGenPass does is return the MD5 hash for the domain+master password, cut to the specified length. You can do basically the same thing from most shells:
user@example:~$ echo "helloworld123"|md5sum|cut -c -10

Yes, but it generates passwords from domain name. What if I need to store a password from a door lock? Supergenpass is a nice tool, but it is only for website-one-user usage. – skanatek – 2012-01-27T10:15:19.190

Thanks for the shell example! Does 'echo "helloworld123"|md5sum|cut -c -10' generate exactly the same result on any shell and any machine? – skanatek – 2012-02-01T10:03:21.330
1Provided the input, "helloworld123" is exactly the same, then the output will be the same too, always. – Andrew Lambert – 2012-02-01T17:40:13.183
Amazed, could you please post your comment about the shell thing as an answer? – skanatek – 2012-02-02T22:13:23.700
