Maybe its just me, but RANDOM alphanumeric with special charactors is about as secure a password as you can create.

No, what I said was that how the passwords are chosen is just one small part
of keeping them secure. Randomly generated passwords are worthless if they
are posted everywhere. There are other important considerations to making sure
that the bad guys don't get the passwords in the first place. To my knowledge,
none of the other "password trading protection" like systems addresses that
at all, except of course for brute force attacks. They just try to detect
compromised passwords after the fact. If you've ever had your entire
password list posted you know that while detecting it is good, preventing it in
the first place would have been a whole lot better.
jeffrey, you sure do spend a lot of time attacking Strongbox, mostly posting
total BS that's not anything like the truth, which I guess means you've probably
never even seen Strongbox. Do you work for proxypass or did one of us
piss you off in a previous life?
