Thanks.

There is a use for it. It will help you generate safer passwords than the usual (license plate, SS#, birth date, friend's name, pet's name, friend's pet's name etc.)
[However, not all passwords generated are equally safe.]

Unfortunately, I know of no algorithm that produces memorizable passwords. You just have to keep clicking until you find one that you can remember.

Version 1.6 will have it. I submited version 1.5 this morning (9/21) but forgot to link all the parts of the new feature to the preferences menu. (hence the need to submit 1.6)

Really useful widget, needs a copy to clipboard button though!
