I've posted my random password generator (well, first draft of a UNIX/C
version) to comp.sources.misc.  It has the advantage that the passwords it
generates are pronounceable (usually!) by speakers of English; this makes
them easier for me to remember, and hopefully for others as well.  (My
memory for spelling is closely tied to my memory for pronunciation; if I
remember the pronunciation, I've got the spelling, but *not* vice-versa.)
