This article mainly explains "the process of generating passwords with makepasswd and passwordmaker under Linux". Interested friends may wish to have a look. The method introduced in this paper is simple, fast and practical. Now let the editor take you to learn "the process of generating passwords with makepasswd and passwordmaker under Linux".

Makepasswd

Makepasswd works similarly to pwgen, but the passwords it generates are not easy to remember. All passwords are randomly generated, and makepasswd pays more attention to security than pwgen.

To install makepasswd, enter:

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install makepasswd

Generate a password and enter:

The code is as follows:

Makepasswd

Generate five passwords, each containing at least 10 characters:

The code is as follows:

Makepasswd-count 5-minchars 10

You can also specify that random passwords are generated based on a string. This can be useful in generating PIN. For example, generate a 4-bit PIN and type:

The code is as follows:

Makepasswd-string 1234567890-chars 4

Passwordmaker

Passwordmaker is different from previous pwgen and makepasswd. It was originally an extension of browsers such as IE,Firefox. Passwordmaker-cli is the command line version of passwordmaker. To 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 a master password (master password), and passwordmaker will use the entered information to generate a unique password for the URL.

The code is as follows:

Passwordmaker-url maketecheasier.com

Enter a secure and easy-to-remember password after the prompt. I typed "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 results as last time. This means that you can get rid of the drudgery of reciting passwords. When you forget your password, just enter the corresponding URL and master password to run passwordmaker again, while URL and master password are easier to remember.

The following example shows the results of running passwordmaker twice, noting that the passwords generated are the same.

Remember: always make sure your password is secure and don't use too obvious passwords, such as "password", "123456", "qwerty" and so on.

At this point, I believe you have a deeper understanding of "the process of generating passwords with makepasswd and passwordmaker under Linux". You might as well do it in practice. Here is the website, more related content can enter the relevant channels to inquire, follow us, continue to learn!
