10.4: Random password widgets may not be random
Authored by: jdb8167 on Sep 02, '05 03:21:07PM

There is a password generator built into both the OS X account creation page in System Preferences and in the Keychain. Open Keychain Access, click on File Menu->New Password Item... Click on the key icon. There are a bunch of options for different kinds of passwords there.

there are two existing hints about this (10.3 and 10.4). I wrote an application that provides an easier method of access, but my website is no longer available.

Do you still have the source code? If you do, I would think Rob would have no problem with hosting the source - it doesn't sound like it would be a very large app.
