Password suggestions??? Eek! Whether or not I have anything to hide, I'd rather

BTW, I think this is relevant to techwr-l because it shows how important it is

mind when documenting features with less-than-intuitive names. Whatever the
programmer called this function didn't help the user use it (or stop using it).
