Looks great, there's a very defined use-case and the video is very clear.

Does anyone know of any other similar piece of software, preferably open source, that allows for complete customization? I have another use-case different from the one on this product and I could use some advice.

As a 3rd party who thought he understood this, but then realized he didn't: thank you for explaining it

Even though that phrase password is 16 characters long, it has the same entropy as a 9-10 letter long alphanumeric random password (according to KeePass' generator). I agree that it's easier to recall, but it's half as secure as a properly random 16 character one.
