Quick tip.

If you want to generate a random password, you could use /dev/random, but it is more complex than using apg (Automated Password Generator).

So, to install apg on Fedora, run this command:

# yum install apg

Useful parameters:

• -a algorithm choose algorithm
• 1 – random password generation according to password modes
• 0 – pronounceable password generation
• -n num_of_pass           generate num_of_pass passwords
• -m min_pass_len         minimum password length
• -x max_pass_len          maximum password length
• -l spell generated password
• -t print pronunciation for generated pronounceable password
