makepasswd
MAKEPASSWD and Pwgen work the same way, but the passwords it generates are not easy to remember. All passwords are randomly generated, and makepasswd is more security-oriented than Pwgen.
Install MAKEPASSWD, enter at Terminal:
The code is as follows:
sudo apt-get install makepasswd
Generate a password, enter:
The code is as follows:
makepasswd
Generates five passwords with a minimum of 10 characters per password:
The code is as follows:
MAKEPASSWD--count 5--minchars 10
You can also specify that a random password is generated based on a string. This can be useful in generating a pin. For example, to generate a 4-bit pin, enter:
The code is as follows:
MAKEPASSWD--string 1234567890--chars 4
PasswordMaker
PasswordMaker is different from previous Pwgen and MAKEPASSWD. It would have been an extender for browsers such as Ie,firefox. PASSWORDMAKER-CLI is the passwordmaker version of the command line. Install PASSWORDMAKER-CLI, enter:
The code is as follows:
sudo apt-get install passwordmaker-cli
When using PasswordMaker, you need to enter a domain name (URL) and master password (master password), and PasswordMaker will use the input information to generate a unique password for the URL.
The code is as follows:
PasswordMaker--url maketecheasier.com
Enter a safe and easy to remember password after the prompt. I entered the FC (Qi-ge).
The magic of PasswordMaker is that if you run PasswordMaker again with the same URL and master password, you will get exactly the same result as last time. This means you can get rid of the drudgery of reciting passwords from this. When you forget the password, you only need to enter the corresponding URL and the main password to run PasswordMaker again, and the URL and master password is relatively easy to remember.
The following example shows the results of two run PasswordMaker, noting that the passwords generated two times are the same.
Remember: Always keep your password safe and don't use overly obvious passwords, such as "password", "123456", "qwerty", and so on.
