Yeah, but you have an HD password, right? And you require authentication to your OS?
I assume the password generator will reveal that password when you set it? Even if you forget it immediately I think it is less secure than not being able to use a password at all. Apart from the fact that if there is a password someone will find a justification to have that shared with others, just in case. Obviously you want a person's private key encrypted with a passphrase. An ssh agent could hold a copy of the unencrypted key temporarily, if that is suitable in your environment. That's similar to leaving your session logged on when you leave your workstation for a moment.
