Password Generator

When I had my own server, I had a simple PHP generator that would pipe the output of Pwgen to the web page. I moved to a shared hosting account and couldn’t do that anymore. However, as I’m trying to encourage cluster users to use good passwords, I re-created the page on the cluster.

So! If you want a handy way to get good, memorable passwords quickly, it’s here.

I don’t claim any role in generating these passwords, that’s all done by pwgen. The flags being used for the sections are:

-B -c -C -n 8
for the pronounceable passwords and

-B -c -C -n -s 10
for the more secure but less memorable passwords.
