pwgen might send the password to somewhere, too ;-P
A GUI is nicer, easier to chose the options without reading the manual.
Yep, granted, but at least with pwgen, you have the source, so you can spend a good 5 minutes to look through 6 very short c-sources to verify that "ET doesn't phone home" :)
So I can use a web generator via Tor. Good luck them finding me :-p
I don't think the problem lies in the password being traceable back to you. It's more the possibility that the password could end up in a dictionary, or hashes of the pw could be entered in some rainbow tables, thus providing an easy way to crack it. That would make a complex and hard to remember password just a bit too insecure... Similar concerns about online password strength checkers, of course... /Andreas -- Cahn's Axiom: When all else fails, read the instructions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
