btw. : seems * pwgen * is a great password generator :
- the command : pwgen 32 10
- produces a list of ten 32 character passwords . . . Brill. :)
IIR there was a tool which produced 'pronounceable' passwords like 'Xpektor8' :-) Seriously. You seem hung up on text-mode, as I said, '1980s UNIX mode'. The various tools I referred to integrated with browsers and the like. I gathered from your previous email that you were using passwords to log in to various sites
My.Yahoo, Google, Bank, etc., etc.
and I presume that you use a web browser to do that. Unless you are talking dedicated application on Android or iOS. So a password manager which integrates with the browsers such as 'Password Exporter' in Firefox or any of the generic tools I mentioned in my previous post (which took only a few second googling) have more relevance. Some of them also have password generators that are more controllable than 'pwgen'. For example Figaro has a password generator that can choose passwords for you. In addition to how long the password should be, and what types of characters (lower case, upper case, numbers and symbols) should be used. You can even have it avoid ambiguous characters such as a capital O or the number zero, lower case 'L' and the number '1'. More to the point, many of these tools don't simply store the password, they also store the other login characteristics that go with a specific site and take care of autofill. That's what I mean by the text-file approach being "1980s UNIX mode'. it doesn't integrate with the GUI and doesn't integrate with the browser and doesn't expedite your work flow. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
