Secure Password Generator Extension

This extension allows you to simply generate secure passwords based on criteria you specify on the options page.

Why you should use this extension?
* no permissions to access where you browse or anything. Other extensions seem to have ability to access data on the page where you enter the username and password
* simply click the lock icon next to omnibox and you have your password
* no ads or anything that would bother you - I created this for myself because I do not trust other extensions
* if you feel like it you can support me on the options page but nothing will remind or force you to do it
