If semi-random 32 (or n) character passwords is what you're after, pwgen
should work on Linux and macOS:
pwgen -s -y 32 1
f.,,H%+IMpQ-yDG+W'5'+AmjU$CcF*ZK
That said, if that's a password for a human, I pity the person who has
to type it.
What are you using passwords like that for, as opposed to some kind of
key based auth?
