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).
