Regarding the UI: If you go with the master password option (for now if
not permanently), I would suggest adding two features to the Master
Password dialogue: a checkbox to store the password in the user’s
key{ring|chain}, and a button to generate a random password. The button
would lead to an additional UI, which would include a checkbox to toggle
showing the password. The “show password” box would default to the
logical inverse of state of the “store in my key*” box (since it makes
no sense to generate a random password and then neither store it nor
show it).

Does this sound reasonable?

  For a really good Gnome integration, it would be great to have the
