Comment(by sivel):

 Simply because I don't want to lose this code again, here is a javascript
 version of wp_generate_password:

 {{{
 var wp_generate_password = function(length, special_chars) {
         length = ( typeof length == 'undefined' ) ? 12 : length;
         special_chars = ( typeof special_chars == 'undefined' ) ? true :
 special_chars;
         chars =
 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
         if ( special_chars )
                 chars = chars + '!@#$%^&*()';

         password = '';
         for ( i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
                 start = Math.floor(Math.random()*chars.length);
                 password = password + chars.substring(start - 1, start);
         }
         return password;
 }
 }}}

 I figure this could be of use for this ticket.
