I take it straight up dic attack, i see no gen password with 32 chars in it. Guess this teaches you a lesson, 32 character generated password (or max pass size) as a requirement for 99% of sites. Now if only windows had a standard password storage API which programs can access using special rules and special admin programs can manage this way just like the web browser we can have password stores for windows + sync to cloud.

Does Windows not have something equivalent to OS X's keychain?
Windows does have a password keychain (and has since XP), but AFAIK the only programs that use it are Microsoft programs. Internet Explorer uses the Windows keychain to store saved passwords.
