Comment (by danielpataki):

 I was wondering if it would make sense to shorten the generated password a
 bit. Thinking of the psychology of the matter, if a user sees something
 like this: 0pN#i%dhaDcD0HIn3KiCgE$W I think s/he is much more probable to
 think "that's way too much", delete it, and enter a weak one.

 Perhaps if the generated password was something like this: 0pN#i%de it
 would be less intimidating. This is still measured to be a strong
 password, perhaps this would increase the adoption rate of random
 passwords?
