I’ve put together a small KeePass 2.x plugin that converts a personal sentence into a strong password using a mnemonic transformation technique (the Bruce Schneier method).
While KeePass is great for generating completely random strings, users sometimes need a complex, memorable password for accounts where they have to type it out manually. This plugin is designed to bridge that gap.
How it works:
It takes a sentence and transforms it using the first letters, numbers, and symbols while maintaining case variation.
Input: "I bought my first car in 1995 for five thousand dollars and it was blue!"
Output (with default options): Ibm1ci1995f51k$&iwB!
A Quick Security Note:
This uses a deterministic acronym method. It doesn't replace the superior cryptographic randomness of the native KeePass generator for everyday passwords, but it is a helpful utility for creating human-memorizable passwords that easily pass strict character requirements.
I have also done my best to strictly manage memory by avoiding managed C# strings, relying only on char[], SecureTextBoxEx, and Array.Clear().

Interesting plugin; thanks for developing it!
I've added it to the KeePass plugins page:
