The government has finally decided to simplify the creation of derogatory certificates, which are compulsory for leaving home during this period of confinement. After adding a generator yesterday that retains all your data in the TousAntiCovid app, it is the online certificate generator that has been reviewed today. It also offers an option to save the data entered, which makes it possible to generate certificates much more quickly afterwards.

The novelty was listed on the GitHub repository yesterday at the very end of the day. The updated generator displays a checkbox to save its data and find it later. If checked, everything you enter in the form is stored in the local web storage, the "localStorage" of the browser used. This information remains local, it is no more sent than before to a remote server.

Once the box is checked, the form memorizes all the information entered, except the reason and the exit time. To generate a certificate, you just have to change these two parameters and click on the button at the bottom, which is much faster. Another button has been added to empty the local data and start again on a blank form.

This makes our shortcut less necessary, except in one last case: if you want to generate certificates for several people in your family, there is no official solution (yet). To know everything about this shortcut:
