The app prefixes the entry text with a period when only the domain url component is selected: so "google" becomes ".google". This breaks compatibility with the chrome extension, other passwordmaker.org apps, and makes it useless for generating consistent "real life" passwords that do not derive from a url format

Hey @jasemo, thanks for the report. Sorry this is affecting you; I largely developed this for my own use so I haven't really used it in a wide array of configurations. What's more unfortunate is that I don't have a ton of time to devote to side projects right now. :(

I actually have plans for a complete rewrite, but who knows when that'll happen. Nevertheless, if I catch some free time I should be able to fix this (along with a few other things) fairly quickly. I'm sure it's an annoyance for you and others.

Thanks again for reporting the issue and for using the app!

Hi Eddie,

this is really bugging me, too. No need for a rewrite, just a small fix: Basically all that you would have to change is to use the Input Text as is, without assuming it's a URL. That is, you'd just have to revert commit 8867ba3 -- or, even better, bail out of that code if the Input Text doesn't contain a dot.

Best,
Márton
