Re: OT: Password generator

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Nowadays, strong should be tantamount to ultralong. So, if you are
maintaining a server, at least the root password should be very long.


Some of the customizable online password creators are also really handy,
like Steve Gibson's generator (https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm) or
Norton's "everyday" password generator
(https://identitysafe.norton.com/password-generator). Keypass
(http://keepass.info/) has it all: password management and generation on
your desktop.


Carl, while I see the point of this as an XPL programming exercise, it
just might be akin to reinventing the wheel.
