> I would trust passwords that come out of a script like this to be far more secure than passwords anyone (myself included) made up, no matter how random they're trying to be.
Definitely agree with you here.
I've been using the "few random words" method for passwords I need to remember for some time (and random 20 character mixes of alpha/numeric/symbol for the other, which I have stored in a keepass db), and I know I'm not all that random in my choice of words so if someone managed to see one or two of my passphrases it would be quite easy to create a script that could brute force the other couple quickly.
I shall have to use a script like this (or throw together my own for paranoia's sake) next time I change one of my passphrases.
