So, what to do? In the past, I've used an excel spreadsheet to
    generate a random string of "n" characters, selected from a set of
    characters that do not include the "confusing" ones (Oo01lIiL and so
    on). The "randomness" was defined by how long I felt like leaning on
    the F9 key that day. After creating the string, I would then try to
    get my client to NOT write down the string - this almost never
    works, but it's worth a try.

    For today's story, I decided to improve on this a bit, and re-coded
    it in python. This was a 5 minute script (as most of mine are), so
    if you see a way to improve or neaten this up in any way, please -
    don't be shy - use our comment form.
