I think so. However, it's interesting to use HMAC wrt a simple password, in my case: (the password _and_ the plaintext) to generate a more "complex" password? The problem I have with my work wrt this task (complex password derived from simple password) is that it generates a new ciphertext even if the plaintext and/or password have not been altered at all. I am thinking of adding in something to the UI to control this aspect.
