So, another question. Is there a tool that is local and would do
something like this? I am using Seamonkey 2.0 nowadays. It seems to
have some tools available to it that the old Seamonkey doesn't.

There is a tool I've used in the past called PasswordMaker. It uses a
master password and a flexible set of parameters to generate passwords
and if necessary, enter them on a site.
It has a plugin for firefox and I believe seamonkey too. I can't check
this second because their site appears to be down (bandwidth
exceeded). It doesn't store the passwords anywhere and will only store
the master password on your machine if you specifically ask for it.
Once you enter the master password and select the appropriate settings
(length, character set, hashing algorithm etc etc), the password will
be generated. You can also use the current website as a salt, so using
the same settings will yield a different password for different sites.
Sounds like I'm advocating this very heavily, in fact I don't have
much experience with it. It sounds reasonable to me, but I'll let you
guys discuss it :)

I saw this on the plugin site. I notice it generates passwords but I'm
pretty good at that myself. I doubt anyone would guess my password for
my bank and credit card. They are not based on anything, not birth
dates, Social Security number, account number or anything like that. I
used to use a password that had some of the characters above the number
keys but I got tired of typing all that mess in. It may be more secure
with them but the bank chose to block my password manager from filling
them in automatically. I changed it to something easier to type in.
Also had a few rounds with the bank too. The changes they made do not
make anything more secure than it already was. Several universities did
studies and some of them said it made things worse by providing a false
sense of security.
I did not notice that it had a fill in feature tho. It may not work
with my bank but I may try it since it appears to be a local thing and
doesn't transmit anything to a third party. Lastpass seems to do this.
Thanks.
