Most humans create terrible passwords (myself included) and I really benefit from simply having a random word generator. I use generators like these to create a random word cloud to pick and chose from to create my actual password. I also might have to read particular passwords over the phone to someone in a rare emergency so real words help with that a lot. This particular one doesn't throw enough random symbols in between words IMO, I also like to throw in misspellings and random caps which none of them seem to do.

Yes, I use a random password generator for all of my passwords. But I don't use the XKCD method because I actually find that style of password more difficult to remember and more of a pain to type in.
