A New Way to Remember Passwords

From InterAlia, 5/9/2005:

"Here's a nifty way to generate tough-to-break
passwords without remembering them: use this
Password Generator. All you have to do is remember
one password. Here's how it works: whenever you
visit a site that requires a password, just head to the
password generator, type in your master password
and the URL of the site you're trying to access.
It generates a strong password designed specifically
for that site. The next time you visit the site, you only
have to go back to the password generator, type in the
name of the site, and your password automatically
appears.

If you need a more visual description of how this works,
