I would consider a name change as I first thought this was a OS X Service for password generation. As Service and Cocoa are both names heavily associated with the platform.

Personal word association is not something I'm going to solve.

I guess you should take this kind of advice. I can second @laveur here, I thought the same.

Why would anyone want that? Sounds like a terrible idea.

The password(s) is not logged, or saved anywhere.

Except in the email message, in plain text.

If you chose to send an email. Why would you want it? SOA with diff services that may have diff requirements, such as creating a temporal rep of the user.

Everything is eventually plain text. Should you use this to blast something out publicly? Of course not. Is it useful internally? Definitely.

Follow up point, which I missed. You can control the entropy of the password. Do you need ~50b, ~80b, >~100b? It's just a parameter.
