B or -ambiguous (Don't include ambiguous characters in the password) s or -secure (Generate completely random passwords) y or -symbols (Include at least one special symbol in the password) 0 or -no-numerals (Don't include numbers in the password) n or -numerals (Include at least one number in the password) A or -no-capitalize (Don't include capital letters in the password) c or -capitalize (Include at least one capital letter in the password) There are also some useful options available to use with pwgen command. To include at least 1 number in the password run: $ pwgen 14 1 -n 1 Generate 100 random strings with 14 characters long using pwgen Sample output: Ho8phaedohxoo3 em1HaefohYi8gu To generate 2 different passwords with length of 14 characters, run: $ pwgen 14 2
The above command will generate only one password with length of 14 characters. Once pwgen installed, generate a random and strong password with length of 14 letters using command: $ pwgen 14 1 In Arch based systems: $ sudo pacman -S pwgen
#Random password generator words install
In RPM based systems: $ sudo yum install pwgen To install pwgen in DEB based systems, run: $ sudo apt install pwgen It designs secure passwords that can be easily memorized by humans. It is available in the most Unix-like operating systems. Pwgen is simple, yet useful command line utility to generate a random and strong password in seconds. $ man openssl $ man base64 $ man wc Method 2 - Using Pwgen To generate generate a 16 byte (128 bit) random value, the command would be: $ openssl rand -base64 16įor more details, refer the man pages. The -d and -c flags in the above command refers "decode" and "byte count" respectively. You can count the number of characters in the above random value by decoding it using command: $ echo "B3ch3m3e35LcCiRQiqI=" | base64 -d | wc -cĪs you can see, we have generated a random and strong password with 14 characters long. The above command will generate a 14 byte random value encoded with base64. Generate a strong password in Linux using OpenSSL
