Which would basically be a password that is randomly generated from very poor quality entropy, giving almost as much insecurity as the current example, while fooling even more people (because it changes). Nice idea.

Generate a real strong password and store it in a cookie then.

Or just don't and leave it as a joke the way it is, I think we're over-engineering this.

That being said there's an actual password generator "feature" in duckduckgo for some reason: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!password&t=ffab&ia=answer

I can't really imagine why anybody would want to use that though...

what's wrong with using a password generator? or are you just saying that having it built into a search engine is pointless?
