After that, configure your addon in 'tools -> addons -> gPass -> preferences' in Firefox or 'More tools -> extensions -> gPass -> options' in Chrome to point to your password server (+ username).

If you want to make a strong password, there is a password generator. You can use '*' character to access to all subdomains of a specific website (ie *.). The first thing to do is to populate your database (from your/a password server) with website address/login/password/master key values. Moreover, with gPass, you can have multiple master keys ! This addon is like last pass one, but I wanted it to be open source and self hostable (be careful on server down !). So, a hacker can get your password database, it will not be able to see any information (except if it brute force or leak your masterkey) ! So it's important to choose a strong masterkey ! The decryption is done on the fly when it's needed and only with user input. To have a high level of security, all information is stored encrypted (server side). gPass helps to reach this goal : you keep a subset of passwords (called masterkey) and for each login/masterkey tuple you chose, gPass returns the real password by querying a password server. The best way to avoid these errors is to have a unique strong password for each account.

So, what most people do is to generate only a subset of passwords easy to remain. It's hard to remain all of these, moreover if we don't use it often. Everyday we have a lot of passwords to manage corresponding to a lot of accounts we use.
