I don't know if this really counts as a "new" feature, but I would really like two changes to the password generator in WHM (the one used for generating cPanel account passwords, e-mail passwords, database user passwords and so forth..).
1. Only generate unmistakable passwords, by removing numbers/characters that can be (depending on the font) mistaken for other characters or numbers:
- Lower case letter L (l)
- Upper case letter i (I)
- The number one (1)
- The number zero (0)
- Upper case letter o (O)
2. Please make WHM "remember" the changes you do in the advanced section of the password generator. If I want all passwords to be 10 characters long, and to only contain lowercase letters and symbols, I would prefer it if I didn't have to click advanced, enter 10, select lower case, select symbols and check the "I have copied..." box each and every time.
I like this idea 
Excellent request! I actually wrote my own generator in PHP just because cPanel's generator was doing what you described. It would be great if this problem was solved.

Ever have to reset all passwords in an entire domain?
Copy/paste is the only option for several hundred new passwords.

So here's the latest revision of our password input field and generator (this is when the generation options are expanded). This appears in only a few places in the product right now, but should be slowly rolling out across the product as we get to interfaces and update them.
I don't believe that it avoids the visual collisions of characters like you're talking about though (another product manager may have to chime in with specifics about it).
