  1. Yes, I Know IT ! 🎓 (yesiknowit@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Jul-2019 23:15:10 EDT Yes, I Know IT ! 🎓 Yes, I Know IT ! 🎓

    http://www.ostechnix.com/4-easy-ways-to-generate-a-strong-password-in-linux/

    My preferred :
    openssl rand 14 -base64
    gpg --gen-random --armor 1 14

    ... but the passwords are not easy to remember. A good argument to use a password manager.
    #password #linux #gpg #openssl

      > My preferred [way to generate a password in Linux is with the command]:
      openssl rand 14 -base64
      gpg --gen-random --armor 1 14
      ... but the passwords are not easy to remember. A good argument to use a password manager. #password #linux #gpg #openssl

      And *my* prefered way to generate a password is to use the command line tool I wrote for exactly that use case: https://passgen.codesections.com :D

      (and the passwords are easy to remember/type, in addition to being secure)
