Couldn't get the "truly random" part of it to work properly on my computer and I didn't want to spend much time with this program. I just go to Random.org into the advanced area or SuperGenPass.com and use the mobile version to get a "good enough" password for my needs.

I tried it, and it was OK, but not any big deal. It's nice that even without using the "truly random" feature, you get cryptographically-strong randomization. If, that is, what the author says is true.

And that's the crux. It's closed source, so there is no way of knowing if the crypto-strong claim is true (and implemented correctly), or if the "truly random" feature is as claimed.

It's not just a security issue; they're asking money for this thing, yet for all I know, when this thing generates passwords, it is simply calling some lame, built-in, weak randomization function.

If such a software exists, it does mean that there's no paranoia in being aware that CIA, KGB, Mossad and DGSE are eveywhere, including in my private life. A pseudo-random 16 caracter code-password is nothing, I do need help, 'Truly Random' is now available, finally.
Tonght, I'll sleep relaxed. My privacy shall remain. Alleluia!

Yea.... like I can remember random passwords. OK, and to pay besides, I think I can do better with my head. IMHO
