I don't want to disturb the high level talks but I like Mr. Woodger's idea.
I am also interested in knowing from TS that why the password is not allowed to be repeatable even after 1 million or billion values.
In general, if I can relate it to current web world, the user ids are unique and they are not allowed to have even a single duplicate. But I have never seen anywhere that there is any duplicate restriction on passwords.
Moreover, the system generated passwords have a limited lifespan and they are to be changed by the end user within certain period of time (say a month). So, a password which was generated a month ago should have been expired and we could reuse that value now.
In my views, it should not be an issue if the password is repeated (with a probability of 1 in a million or a billion).
