When editing a secret, a new menu item is available called "Generate". This
will
generate a secure password and set it in the "Password/PIN" field. The
password will
contain a random 8-character sequence of letters (both upper case and lower
case),
digits, and punctuation.

It would be nice to be have an option (an intermediary step after choosing the
"Generate" menu item) to choose the character length and set of characters used
for
random passwords:
- Simple = [a-z]
- Letters = [a-zA-Z]
- Letters & digits = [a-zA-Z0-9]
- Digits = [0-9]
- Complex = [a-zA-Z0-9.!\*]
As you can tell, I consider your choice of randomly generated password a
complex one.
;-)
In majority of cases, it's both nice and good enough to have a password that
can also
be remembered.

In order to keep things simple, I don't plan on implementing options for this
feature.
However, a more "clever" algorithm to generate equally random, yet possibly
more easily
remembered, passwords is certainly possible. Would you like to contribute some
code?

I have a Java app for generating memorable passwords. You should be able to
port it
to the Android environment:

Thanks Curtis, I'll take a look. I didn't see a license attached to your code,
so
just want to double check with you that:
1. this is all your original code
2. that it is compatible with the Apache 2.0 licensed used by secrets
