Wait, did she say she's using a graphical generator? I wonder if it's one of those fancy-schmancy ones with built-in rainbow tables. That would be a real time-saver!

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree with the use of the SHA1 generator. Isn't that algorithm a bit dated and insecure these days? Maybe she should consider using a newer, more secure hashing algorithm.
