How to create 100 passwords quickly

I had the need to create 100+ passwords as a starting point for an online CMS system for a client. Of course I wanted control over the passwords to make sure they were strong and fit the parameters of a password that I have set. Passwordinator made this amazingly easy.

Can it be better? Of course, everything can be. How? Add the ability to add a salt value and provide a hashed version (SHA1 / MD5 to start) of the password too. Something like;
password 1, hashed version
password 2, hashed version
password 3, hashed version
...and so on

Since they are providing the ability to create many passwords, most people who use this would probably be setting up some type of secure system and adding a salt value and storing the hashed value is the right way to do things.

Thank You Passwordinator!
