a pwd generater requires random values:

On linux like operating systems you can use /dev/(u)random and read some
chars or you can use interfaces to the supported scripting languages
(python,ruby,..) or use additional external tools.
Of course you could base it on the time which you can query using
some VimL
functions as well.
It all depends on your security requirements.
See http://drchip.0sites.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#RNDM for a
pseudo-random number generator for vimL.
One should be able to gin up a password generator with it and nr2char().
