Comment on Passwords, Backups and a false sense of securityparent

Comments

Agree but as I said it also "only generates 7 digits with no UC" which is even worse. My point is simply that you can do this by the command line. And depending on what the purpose of the password is (and how difficult you want it to be) in many cases it fits the purpose.

If I was generating initial passwords for someone's email account for example I probably would also leave out digits and letters that are easily confused, like 0 and O and l and 1 and some other things which isn't a best practice either but might be appropriate for other reasons.
