I don't understand this. In what case would there ever be "past" account passwords that I would have to change?

You wouldn't have to change them, but you'd have to remember the master password for the last "generations" to be able to access the older accounts.

Seems it's prepared for this: "Change generated password without changing your master password. Increment the counter field in your options."
