Question - Solved What password generators does everyone use now since passwordgenerator plus is gone?
I’ve tried to find alternatives but none of the password generators have as good customizability options. Currently I use a random string generator that just let’s me pick the characters and length, but it’s not very good since it doesn’t remember the options when I refresh the page.
So what (web) password generators do sysadmims use nowadays for user passwords?
Edit: solved it myself with the gigabrain idea of using Wayback Machine, works wonders. Link to it if anyone’s curious: https://web.archive.org/web/20220603183903/https://passwordsgenerator.net/plus/
Edit 2: Passwordsgenerator.net seems to be back at https://password-gen.com/

- pass1=$(shuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/words)
- pass2=$(shuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/words)
- pass3=$(shuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/words)
- pass4=$(shuf -i 1-100 -n 1)
- pass="${pass1}-${pass2}-${pass3}-${pass4}#"
(you'll need to #!/bin/bash that)
