You need to var the generate_to variable in the click handler. Currently
it's a global variable, which makes the second instance overwrite the first
instance. Change:
generate_to = $(this).attr('for');
to:
var generate_to = $(this).attr('for');
Also, I think I'd change the plug-in a bit. IMO, I would make more sense to
use like:
$("#button").generate_password("#passwordField", iLength);
That way you can attach the behavior to any element. Also, by using a
selector for the field to update, you could update multiple fields with the
same value (in those cases where you had both a password and confirm
password fields.)
