I've considered making a version of PwdHash that uses a stronger hash function (and I think my brother did make one)...

But to be honest, if a hacker specifically targets you, you will probably be compromised, no matter how strong a hash function you use. (They will probably just use one of the many other attack vectors.)

And there's that joke about two guys running from a bear. "I don't have to outrun the bear; I just have to outrun you"

PwdHash lets me have unique, non-trivial passwords for every site with minimal fuss. There will be probably lots of lower hanging fruit before hackers start targeting PwdHash-generated passwords.
