Improved Password Security with SuperGenPass

I've begun using SuperGenPass to improve the quality of my passwords across the (many) different sites where I have accounts. Basically, SuperGenPass uses a master password and the domain name to generate a password that is specific for the domain. This approach, combined with a handy bookmarklet makes sure that the increase in security does not come with a high cost in efficiency. The bookmarklet simply takes the existing password in a password field and uses that password as the master password, so the login procedure for a site is extended by just a simple mouse click.
