I came to the realization that Perderabo mentions many years ago.

Found a nice, small 3rd party product independant from the server that I use to create passwords. I use KeePass to generate all passwords that I don't use on a regular basis (of which are 20 characters (alpha-num-special) in length, but I do store all passwords in its database.

Has a neat copy/paste buffered (timed) facility to avoid having to retype the pasword after it's set. You and others might find it useful.

Cheers,
Cameron Smilie
