Create Your Own Password Generator In Bashrc

[Skhilled]

No more going to other sites to generate random passwords! Just add the following code below to bashrc. In any ssh terminal use the following code to find out where bashrc resides:

Code Select Expand

whereis bashrc
Open it in your favorite editor and add the following code to the bottom of the file:

Code Select Expand

function pass()
 {
     if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
         count=15
     else
         count=$1
     fi

     pass=`</dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c${count}`
     echo $pass
 }
Reboot your session then type "pass" which will give you a random 15 character password. You can change the length of the password by specifying a parameter such as "pass 20" which will generate a random 20 character password.
