The thing I didn't mention is that I may have also implemented my own password manager for my org which uses my password generator API :) The service fees on password managers are outrageous for group usage! But mine is decidedly less well-integrated into every single app platform. Still, it works well for sharing passwords.

I also definitely have the problem with inadvertently generating words that are not exactly things you'd want people shouting in the computer lab. I hadn't heard about the Scunthorpe problem, but that makes a lot of sense. So what we've learned is that if you give an army of monkeys typewriters, they won't write Shakespeare very often, but they'll spout out something profane every few minutes :)
