It does?? As you described it, he can let passwordmaker choose his
password. But he says he can't do that. Or he can specify the whole
password as the prefix, which is insecure. And AIUI that's not
acceptable to him either, as far as I can see he's very concerned
about security. So what's the third option that is both secure and
allows use of the current password?
Entering the password from memory?
This isn't a limitation of passwordmaker or any other password
program... it is a limitation imposed by the (as far as I understand it,
but I may be missing something too) use case.
As far as I know there is no program that is capable of reading minds
and/or intuiting what password should be used based solely on what
someone knows in their head.
That said, there is actually a more secure option...
passwordmaker has the ability to encrypt the password that is stored, if
the form allows it, which I'm fairly certain mailman's login forms do -
let me check - yep...
So, the only other option that I can offer would be to create a custom
account for the login page in passwordmaker, then add the password
field, username and password fields to the 'Advanced Auto-Populate'
fields as described here:

As far as I can see, you're just saying the requirements are stupid.
No, just trying to help is all... :)
