Public bug reported: Pasaffe uses the "apg" utility to generate random passwords. Unfortunately, apg defaults to generating "pronounceable" passwords instead of random ones, which results in generated passwords not being as strong as they should, and has the numeric placed at the end of it most of the time.
This has been corrected by the following upstream commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/pasaffe/trunk/revision/573 [Test Case] 1- open pasaffe 2- create new entry 3- click the button to generate random passwords Pronounceable passwords look like this, typically with a digit at the end: duhoifed0Ok& cagMovtefEk4 NuzHykdieds6 chaiDrunsIf6 Biahickwyek6 GhoysbyPhit2 Truly random passwords should look more like this: YL48AGzXIQ1g ClSLdxI2U1RF g3r5NYBFNFAQ ZZ0HsVHslwNB Xve3zaIF6uNj vJvX9v0RIXYv [Regression potential] This code only touches the password generation code, if it breaks it will no longer generate random passwords.
