1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • receiving, by a password manager server, an access credential for a website from a host computer, the access credential comprising a password for logging into the website by a user;

    synchronizing cryptographic key information, by the password manager server, between a client device and the password manager server, wherein the client device comprises non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing a unique seed value; and

    at a predetermined time frequency, generating, by the password manager server, a new password replacing the password of the access credential for logging into the website by the user based on at least the unique seed value stored on the client device and a time-date stamp stored on the password manager server comprising time and date of when the password that is being replaced was generated, wherein the new password generated by the password manager server is different from each previous password for the website based on use of the time and date of previous password as an input for generating the new password, wherein the password manager server is configured to generate the new password for logging into the website each time the user generates a request to log into the website, and wherein the generated new password is never stored in a database associated with the password manager server for further use by the user.
