+A cryptographically stronger password generator (random "seed" generated for each visit)((The fact that many people use the password generator on this page is in effect an additional random seed and makes it difficult for an attacker to predict the order of passwords that will be generated for any particular user. An attacker would also have to know the exact time you created your password in order to re-create the pseudorandom sequence of passwords created. A random "seed" created for each user would further increase the entropy of the sequence that passwords are selected. The random seed for this service is regenerated regularly, but not for every visit.)) can be found at: http://fourmilab.ch/javascrypt/pass_phrase.html
