Punctuation and digits are always adding to the beginning and/or end of a password

Distributing punctuation and digits throughout the passwords will most likely provide a more random (stronger?) password, sacrificing memorability.

Would be nice if this was a switch that was off by default.

Apg does this by joining the memorable bits with punctuation and/or digits.

You're right, the way Apg does it makes good sense. Will have a look at implementing this.

Maybe the way forward is an option that specifies how memorable the password should be - there are probably a few other optional modifications that could strengthen the password at the expense of memorability.
