The obvious problem with this is that the user has to trust passwd.io. Even upon auditing the website's code, it could change the next time the page is accessed. Not only does the user have to trust passwd.io, they have to trust that passwd.io doesn't get hacked. This is a fundamental problem with a web-based solution.

Yes, that's true. I've thought about that a lot. Maybe the solution is something like a third party monitoring the client side code or something.
