You mentioned adding a period for special characters but what do you do for passwords that require capitalization?

I suppose you could get that with base64 encoding rather than a hex digest. Something like:

    echo -n 'Secret sentence Sitename' | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

Good idea. Lot's more space too when compared to hex encoding. I added it to my app: http://imgur.com/EcqZ1
