  I get a vertical scroll bar in the text of the password in Chrome. It would be nice if you can hide it.

  Where is the code? It would be nice if all the javascript code is in the same page without external javascript files, so the user can "verify" that you are not doing anything shady.

  Are you using a cryptographic random generator? Anyway, my guess is that the people that ask the question is paranoid enough to not use this page to generate the password for the secret bank account or something.

  Sometimes there are also simple ways which are as good as any

  Are you running analytics on this?
