This seems a bit off to me.

Out of the 25 passwords that I have, 16 (ie 64%) of them start with 'A'. Is this to be expected? I somehow expected a more even distribution of characters.

Yep, I'm investigating. Seems like an issue of conversion from hash to string.

Has the issue been solved. It's been 5 years + since it was open. Is there a real issue with the algo generating the passwords? Does it create security exploits?
