Create 4 random passwords which contains no special characters and are 10 characters long:

Code:

cat /dev/urandom| tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 10| head -n 4

Create 4 random passwords which DO contains special characters and are 12 characters long:

Code:

$ cat /dev/urandom| tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9-_!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:<>?='|fold -w 12| head -n 4| grep -i '[!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:<>?=]'

that's pretty neat little script - cheers Wink

I'm going to stick to lastpass though...

Then there's always 'pwgen'

Can someone explain to me how/why lastpass.com is better than your browser's password store? I use pwgen to generate seriously crazy passwords for each individual site and let my browser remember the passwords. Nobody has access to my computer except me, and even when they do, it's through their own account.
