There are any number of good solutions, search for your own. John appears
to have a vested interest in this one. It doesn't take a "noted
cryptographer" to create a good strong password, and peer review doesn't
mean much if you get passwords that you can't remember.
fwiw, _this_ solution only works for Windows. There are non-Windows
solutions based on passwordsafe, but even the godlike Bruce Schneier
couldn't tell you whether they're any good.
