Random Password Generator: Is it really useful?

Sometimes, choosing a password for an account seems tough. You might wonder which letters or symbols you should use to create a secure password which is difficult to hack.

Created by inetIndustry, GenerateMyPassword is a javascript random password generator that generates a random string of any combination of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and symbols. This tool allows you to choose your password length with a maximum of 25 characters.

After generating your password using the tool, it even provides you a feature that allows you to practice your passwords so that you can remember them.

However, this question has always been on my mind: is this tool really that useful in generating passwords? I would say a Yes and a No!

Password generators are useful in the sense that it helps you create passwords which contain a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and that doesn't looks similar to a dictionary word.

On the other hand, I feel that this can be easily done by a human. For example, when you're at the account page, punching in your details, would you rather head to a password generator website or simply typing in your own password instead? Of course, you must type in a password which looks complicated!
