If you do want gibberish, it's hard to beat pwgen:

The one password they could never divine is \epsilon\epsilon. Two empty 
strings in a row.


Now I can see how some of you might object that it's then just one empty 
string in whole. I disagree: whoever told you passwords have to obey 
normal monoidal string axioms? Quite certainly arbitrary amounts of 
non-visible, un-greppable, in-representable void between and on 
characters *will* prove an un-stoppable counter-measure.

Truth be told, every *nix installation really should have available 1) a 
commonly available dictionary, 2) a true/hard randomness source (don't 
go there), 3) an easily usable means of combining your own off-the-cuff 
source of randomness with whatever you get from your hardware, 4) a 
cryptographically speaking hard mixing function, and 5) a stupid-as-fuck 
freeware utility to fold all of that into an XKCD-hard password. 
Preferably the lot residing in its hard parts on your Android device's 
tamper-resistant whatchamathinga, with open interfaces and a dozen or 
so independent implementations of each part.


Of course you can attack something like that. Duh. But compared to what 
we have now, it'd be a total hoot.

Give me the xkcd method any day. I am really lousy at memorizing gibberish.

That reminds me, I need to finish polishing up the Forth code I use for
making passphrases/passwords and get it out there.

PS:  -  We should ask to ZH if it works, haha!!  He's the kind of guy
that *really* would use this site.  :)))

I was joking, not presenting the CP list a 'wow-amazing-miraculous
passwords generator', hahahaha!!!  ;D

Take care, Jim.  I don't like all of your opinions but respect you.  :)
