grc.com shows I have a lot of ports showing to be closed, but not stealth.
Using new Linksys router on Vista...
Is it a threat, can the ports be stealthed?

No.

Probably, but stealth is nonsense.
There are other much more important things to consider, like changing
the default password of the router,

Are they serious? A good password has to be something a user can
remember. Even written on paper, nobody could type these without making
errors.

Obviously not. You look at the domain name.

Wrong.

Then store it on the computer. Heck, 100 impossible to remember different
passwords for 100 different purposes in a database encrypted with one
rememberable password is still better than not using different passwords
and/or using weak ones.
At any rate, the problem with this password generator is that unless you
read the script code on the website, you can't even be sure that the owner
of this website doesn't get known to your password as well, or if its
generation method doesn't contain any backdoors (like
password=encrypt(RSA-ECC,public_key,SHA1(count++))).
