Details

Passphrases are way better than "secure generated password" because it is easier for humans to remeber but much harder for machines to crack. I suggestion adding an option to generate secure passphrase with the option to choose word separators, cases of words, word length and number of words (MUST be greater than or equal to 4 to provide security)

Here even at Bugzilla Mozilla it is recommanded to use passphrase instead of password.
It greatly reduces the possibility of dictionary attacks and bruteforce.
