Many password manager generators [already do](https://1password.com/password-generator) (use the "memorable" type).

The problem is that in this case, the LLM just naively auto-completes a password from what it knows a password to most likely look like. It is possible to enable an LLM to call external tools and to provide it with instructions, so that it's likely to auto-complete the tool call instead. Then you could have it call a tool to generate a correct horse battery staple, or a completely random password by e.g. calling the `pwgen` command on Linux. But yeah, that just isn't what this article is about. It's specifically about cases where an LLM is used without tool calls and therefore naively auto-completes the most likely password-like string.
