Password Assistant is a handy dandy little utility from codepoetry that uses some hooks into Keychain Access to create complicated passwords easily.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

How is it different than the password assistant built into Mac OS X? Looks to be an exact clone from the screen shot.

KeyChain Access.app has this exact same thing built in (looks nearly exactly the same too), but I guess thats cool if you don't want to open up KeyChain every time you need a new password. ;)

It is the exact same thing. It's showing how to call the private methods that initiate it as well as letting you call it anytime you want it just by starting the program.

As adam pointed out all codepoet has done is written an app that simply calls the password assistant built into OS X because he was fed up with going to keychain access or the accounts prefpane to open it.
