??? As I read it is not for generating passwords. It is for keeping a whole
bunch of passwords safe and accessible for when you need them.

If you want to generate "good strong passwords"
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=128 count=1|uuencode /dev/stdout
and take a string of 20 or more characters from the second line to use as your
password.

Of course you will never remember it. So you will need passwordsafe.

An other way would be to define a "basic" password and then you hash it
using md5.
