Wow. You essentially invented password hashes, salt and pepper. Again.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So, the good news is that with no background whatsoever, you've basically described how most password systems work. You did munge it a little with asymmetric cryptography (a private key infers a public key), but that's okay.
Maybe you should look into crypto systems; it's a very rich field of study that you apparently have an interest in.

There are a million things I'd love to dig into if I wasn't already spending 75 hours a week as a 3D modeler for construction company + 30 more doing industry specific hobbyist programming.
Based on your comment though, I guess I am proposing they reinvent the wheel, but encapsulated around the users. Not quite the level of isolation I want, but it does seem like even a Chrome plugin could mostly do this for me as long as it existed for iOS, Android and Windows. Still, would be nice for OS level integration on mobiles so all the various standalone apps could recieve the altered input.
Maybe I am just too ignorant on this topic to understand and I can accept that... Online or in the real world if someone wants to steal something they are going to steal it, all we can do is make it more trouble than its worth. With that said, wouldn't doubling down even on our current protection methods (as proposed) cause some kind of useful distruption?

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Just saw this -- too bad I didn't see it when you first posted.
Anyways, the idea you propose sounds like what I've done in my app which allows you to draw a geometric shape and then generates a long (SHA-256 hash-based) password for you.
You can read all about it and get the code here at CP: Users Hate Passwords (We're All Users): Never Memorize a Password Again[^]
I've written the app as a iphone, Android, WinForm and web app.
You can try the web app at the official site (it's all client-side javascript, nothing is saved):

Would that work just using both the female plugs

Yes of course! Why it should not work? It is a splitter and the females are parallel.

No problem If it should not work, pass me the explanation why it does not work _and_ your EBAN and I will return you the £1.98

Now I stand for all what I have write, but please allow me a question: Why one needs such a female to female extension?

The power output on my SBC board is a male Molex and the power input on my drive housing is also a male Molex so I need a female to female Molex cable.

Anyway check also again by yourself. According to the pictures, for me it looks ok. In the picture from your link both connectors have bottom/top the same alignement while in the link I sent, one is turned by 180°. If I compare the wires now and take that fact (one turned) into account, both cables are the same for me.

In any case, check again exactly. You will not believe it, but I had a nightmare that night in which your devices went down because I was wrong. I was about to get up at four o'clock in the morning to check everything again

Just to update you, the cable you suggested duly arrived , but when I fitted it the drives and the fan span up and down ( like revvivg an engine on a starting grid ) constantly when powered from the hat. If I power it from the USBC on the board all is good ( although I suspect it's not getting enough power ) any ideas ?

Is the power output of the SBC ok? Sorry, no other idea.

It must be because when I power the SBC via USB and connect the Molex to the hat and drive bay all is fine - weird

public class SomeLocationData

THAT CHECK.
