You can use a cryptographic hash on it. It's how SuperGenPass works: http://supergenpass.com/

(Personally, I use an homegrown script that runs outside the browser, but does something similar)

Am I wrong to be turned off by the fact it uses MD5? Still far more secure than anything I could do in my head I suppose.

Yeah. I wrote the password-hash generator that SuperGenPass and most others credit as their inspiration, and I moved mine http://angel.net/~nic/passwd.current.html on to SHA-1 years ago.
