Re: gnome-password-generator replacement?

Many websites don't allow even 30 chars. One of the important ones I use allows only 16 characters (and no 2FA option), but happens to allow special characters. Using the largest possible character set is the only way to shore that up. ___ users

Re: gnome-password-generator replacement?

makepasswd also looks useful. It's clumsier to use, but more flexible. You use the -c option followed by a string to specify the exact set of allowed characters. The following prints all of the 94 non-space printable characters: for (( c=33; c<=126; c++ )); do printf "\x$(printf %x $c)"; done

Re: gnome-password-generator replacement?

BTW, just noticed a bug. pwgen doesn't have an option to use numbers only (for creating PINs) so I tried to use "pwgen -n 1" to generate a sequence of random digits. But all of the 1-character passwords are lower-case letters, no digits. Filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1462557

Re: gnome-password-generator replacement?

Thanks. I had actually installed pwgen a few months ago, but it looked like the passwords weren't strong enough. gnome-password-generator has a Character set option "All printable (excluding space)". It appears that "pwgen -sy 30 1", for example, does just that, and "pwgen -s 30 1" is the same
