DataURL version of SGP

BeeOnRope
I swear there used to be a Data URL version of SGP.  This version was very handy as a self-contained version that can be used offline, even on mobile devices.

Any idea where it disappeared to?  Any way I can generate it again?

Using the "mobile" version is problematic since it means you trust the operator of SGP not to capture the passwords, etc - not that I don't trust you, but this violates a basic premise of SGP which is that you can inspect the code, validate the behavior, and then use this fixed inspected copy permanently.

You are correct. I removed the Data URI (1) to keep the mobile version tiny (including it more than doubled its size); and (2) because I implemented HTML5 offline storage, I felt it was less useful.

I can add it back (likely as a link in the FAQ). In the meantime, it is easy to create your own. This is the tool I use (check "base64"):

Thanks Chris!  I think a link in the FAQ would be great, and I will try the URL generator you linked too. I did already try a Data URI bookmarklet, but it failed to save the mobile version.

My basic use case is generating passwords on an iPhone for apps (so the bookmarklet doesn't help here) - what's the recommended way to do that?

On an iPhone, go to the mobile version, click on the "+" icon, and choose "Add to Home Screen." The mobile version is an HTML5 web app, so it can be used offline.
