Password Generator
Simple solution to an old problem.
Update:
A bookmarklet from the same site.
Update 2:
A Greasemonkey version has appeared, but from different site. That was fast. Via The Schwartz
BTW, I haven't used any of these yet, so don't take my links as an endorsement. When using software tools to manage all of your passwords, please be cautious.

Hmmm... I wonder... could one of those GreaseMonkey scripts do something to automate the process of calculating and inserting a site-specific password for any password field on any page? Perhaps by inserting event code that searches for any occurance of your generic password and replaces it with the calculated string?

I don't think it would be too hard...just make a bookmarklet that iterates through all text fields on a page and runs that on them if they are password style...I think it would work for most standard implimentations of password boxes. If I new more javascript I would code it, but as it is you could probably get someone to do it.
Useful find btw.

See here for a GreaseMonkey script that improves the automation.
