First, it displays your password in plaintext on the screen. However, the password is long enough that it would be very difficult for a bystander to memorize the password in the short time it is on the screen. My second concern is that you copy the password to the clipboard. If someone saw what website you were at and your username they could simply paste the password in to the website. (these are mostly an issue when using a public computer).

I Guess it creates a random string out of the md5 hash or something of that image/video/mp3

As long as not many people know about this program one way to use it would be to use the logo of the service/site to generate the password for it.

Yeah, it might be a good idea to doanload and save the image on your PC as well.

As for images disappearing after a couple of years, who keeps passwords static for that length of time? That is asking for you secret stuff to be nabbed.

In extremis, you could use a logo image perhaps, because even if the logo is updates suddenly, then the one you used should still be in the Wayback Machine, shouldn’t it?

It’s not right upfront and obvious but easy to find if you know that your victim is using this program.
