      surely a newer statistics machine will correctly generate a statistically unlikely password. These Models Will Get Better. This Will Get Fixed.

    I gave my agents a skill that has them cat from /dev/urandom (which is this corralled into text characters) any time they need to generate passwords for something. Even then I have only ever had one need it like twice.
